The website http://gs35b.com/gs35bvs8877.html
lists it at >2500 watts. The chart near the bottom shows power output 
expected for 2667 watts anode dissipation.

I don't pretend to know which is correct since I will never get that 
close with my amp anyway.

Even if it is only 1500 watts, that still beats a trio of 3-500Zs by 
a wide margin.
