The Signal DU-5 transformer is capable of delivering about 23 amps @ 120V continuous connected load when used in a balanced power mode per the data sheet in the link provided. (Secondary windings are in series.)

Note I said continuous connected load.

In the case of a power amp the mains current draw will fluctuate depending on the dynamics and gain of the source material that is fed to the inputs of the amp. (Dependant on how good the power supply of the power amp.)

The better the supply mains power to the Signal xfmr the better the chance the xfmr will have in handling the dynamic current draw pulses placed upon it by the connected power amp.. Also the better output voltage regulation of the xfmr.

I should note the Signal DU-5 would probably sound better in your system if you fed the primary balanced power 240V (nominal) and paralleled the secondary windings for single ended 120V (nominal) out.
