One of these amps with the main rail filter cans in good condition will do about 88 to 90 watts RMS into a 4 ohm load.
That's the best I have ever seen from one of these.
With a 8 ohm load you will see about 1/2 that.
As I recall the last time I rebuilt one of those it made 17 volts, or 36 watts rms into a 8.2 ohm load.

I recall the factory wattage ratings being at 5% distortion.

I only drive these amps with -10 db, or about. .150 volts @ 1K because that's all that is needed to drive these and many many other amps of all makes to there maximum clipped output wattage.
Remember these amp where made to have enough preamp gain to deal with the weak single coil pickups of the day back then!
