Yaesu 2K/950/5K/9K is the same - can run full power. For RTTY contest duty
cycles, there is not a specific limit due to thermal dis at least specified
by Yaesu.
RTTY rag chewing where the key-down time extends to more than "several
minutes" - I guess that's supposed to be a different case.

At least one of the online specs for the IC-756 Pro III (which I own) says
RTTY is rated at 100 watts with 100% duty cycle. Probably representative of
all the late model Icoms.
There might be IMD or purity reasons not to run at 100% power, but the power
handling capabilities don't seem to be a reason.

No xcvr should be run at more than 50% power for RTTY.
Maybe instead of saying "No xcvr", maybe you should have said "some xcvrs".
I always ran my TT Omni VI at full power in many RTTY contests with no
problem. I even called TenTec and asked if I needed a fan for this type of
service and they said no.
Just my 2 cents...
