[Amps] Drake amplifier

I have a drake L7 amp.
How much power out do you typically get from a drake L4 or L7 amp? I have 95
watts drive and get just short of 1100 watts on 40 meters.

The amp's wattmeter and a bird wattmeter with a brand new slug agree almost
exactly.

This seems a little low or is that about all that can be expected from the
3-500Z's. They run at 2450 volts on the plates and 230 ma grid current.

Thanks
