I can  get nearly 2.5kW PEP output measured on the VFD (predecessor to the 
WX0B  PowerMaster) out of my Henry 3K-A with a pair of 3-500ZGs and almost 4kV 
on  the anodes with 150W+ drive.  Do I do that?  No, but it's possible  with 
enough "umph"...
 
Sorry  I asked about the "2kW..." marking on the '220...  
 



The Henry 3KA is rated at 3000watts PEP input. It runs pretty high plate  
voltage (more than any other amp I have seen) on 3-500's.  It has one great  
big 
transformer!!  I don't doubt it could make at least 2KW out with 150  watts 
drive.  We've made it routine to swap out the 3-500's for 3CX1200A7  tubes in 
that amp and easily makes about 3500 watts output.
 
 
Don't be sorry you asked the question.....later   Lou
