that describes an amp that just "might be" the "most powerful" (Class A anyway).....

A little place in North Hollywood made a nice Class-A tube amp back in in the 1970's that used two Eimac 1000Z tubes and would easily top 1.5KW rms output!
Of course it had a plate transformer that weighed 200 lbs, a 2nd
transformer (for the filaments) that added another 40 lbs to the total..
..I think they were called Kenton Audio Laboratory..and the amp was
dubbed "The Theater Reference Amp". We had a pair of them at KPFK-FM studios in the listening room..driving a pair of stadium-series (double 15" drivers) Klipsche Horns. Sounded great!
