There are a number of them. Emtron from Australia, Acom from Europe are
two.
I can run the legal limit on SSB for long winded rag chews and the tank
doesn't even get hot.
OTOH the tank coil is much larger than the ones in the Ameritron.

The problem is that said amps to really have the overhead are capable of
running enough power they won't pass FCC certification. So amps like
the Emtron DX-2sp and DX-3sp which are capable of 2.5 and 5 KW PEP
respectively, are not advertised in the US. The Acom is auto tune so
IIRC its power is controlled.
