Well, you are right, that is inaccurate. 3-5% THD is usually considered around the power limit for an SE amp (and what S-file will call "clipping") but obviously 3% THD doesn't look anything like a square wave. However, the SE amp that is at 5% THD is indeed going to be at far higher levels with just a bit more power, generally. There is still a knee in the curve.
