Yes, the current heats up the dielectric around the center conductor.
RG393 with the same conductor size and its PTFE dielectric is specified at
9500W on 6m.

MIL-C-17/74 (RG 213 spec) sort of says that..

It says 3700V rms maximum

Figure 2 shows the "straightline" from 1200W (@50 MHz) down to 180 W 
(@1000 MHz), probably based on thermal limits from the current in the 
center conductor - 0.0888" OD seven strands that are 0.0296" each 
(between AWG 20 and AWG 21)
