Well...  I have a Luke 40 amp supply.  It cost way more than an Astron 
and it's been on, except for power outages, for about fourteen years or 
so...   They don't make them anymore, but if you can find one used...get 
it!

It has a large switchable digital readout...for V-in, V-out, and I-out, 
and I think I paid about $275 for it...fourteen years ago...built like a 
proverbial tank, way heavier than the cheap-O supplies hams often 
have(yes...I thinking Astron here...).

And yup...it DOES put out 40 A without the slightest sign of sag.  There 
is no fan and it stays cool most of the time, until you suck large 
amounts of current out of it, and then it gets slightly warm, like a 
fresh chocolate-chip cookie...
