It's not clear to me what you are asking. Do you mean an amp that is 
intended to be driven by a 5-10W transceiver?  Ten Tec and Elecraft both 
make such an amp, and will produce 100W with about 5W drive. The 
Elecraft unit covers 160M - 6M, and has an optional internal antenna 
tuner. It's a very nice unit -- I just put together the screw-together 
kit. It's designed specifically to integrate with their very nice KX3 
QRP rig, but can be used with other rigs. I don't know much about the 
Ten Tec unit.

Ten Tec and Elecraft are first rank American companies, well known for 
high quality products, and Elecraft is especially well known for great 
service and support. The KX3 is FAR, FAR superior to the Yaesu QRP rig.
