After 75 watt limit with Novice license, 200 watts with the SB-100 was nice.

Even so, I did not run the amp full bore, probably around the 600-700 watt range. I hardly ever run the amp on any mode, but when I do, I still use just enough to make the QSO happen; I'm not going to run legal limit when 100 watts will do.
