There was one 500 kW AM BC station in the USA, however. IIRC, it was WLW, and 
it ran that power level in the 1930s. Special experimental permit or some 
such. WW2 caused reduction to 50 kW - I don't know if WLW was allowed to increase 
power after the war.

Google "WLW" for history, pictures, etc.
