Ok let's see., We'll take the Krell 'TAS'. 200 real per channel.
According to you, that's 20*200=4000 fake watts 'per channel'. We double it, that's 8000 watts (peak?) . Now, according to GMichael, we multiply that by 5 (after all, this is a multichannel amp). That's 40000 watts

This sucker does have a 4000VA PS. I bet if it was just one channel, 1KHz into 1 ohm load @ 10%THD, it could do it
