Being picky, it's the rms current, not the average. In a cap input PSU, 
the rms current is often 1.5-2x the average you read on a meter, or 
calculate working back from the dc power going into your PA stage. The 
heating effect of that current is going to be 3-4x higher than the 
average value predicts.
