Tubes is the EASY part.

Tapped tank circuits are a problem.

So are most power supplies.

Every wonder why a broadcast transmitter is in such a large box?

This was my understanding as well.
By those definitions there is no such thing as a "CCS" amateur amp. "No
Time Limit" is just marketing fluff.

I thought there were several big amps that could operate at 1500 watts
output with no time limit.  Alpha among others advertises as such.  The
Alpha 87A has two 3CX800s, with a total of 1600 watts plate dissipation.
It should be able to run 1500 watts out without limit.

Or am I missing something?
