Here's some:
<http://p1k.arrl.org/pubs_archive/56090>
K6EVR had his license suspended for 'superpower'. QST Feb. 1969, p.63
<http://p1k.arrl.org/pubs_archive/53896>
W6VSS suspended for "power in excess of 1 kW" and refusal to allow an
inspector into his station. QST Oct. 1965, p. 178
This one is not exactly a ham item, but the FCC seized a 10 kW CB
amplifier from a guy in Georgia in 1987:

I remember reading one story in a magazine about the FCC catching high
power stations. Maybe it was CQ?
