[Elecraft] KPA1500 design

I've never designed an amp so I'm knowingly ignorant here.  But I was
wondering:

 

If one removed the power supply from a KPA500 and moved it to an external
box (adding regulation and a 13.8 VDC, 30 amp capable supply while you're
there) then;

Put FOUR of the (KPA500) PA modules together in the 'amp' box (two push, two
pull, AB class) and matched them into one output;

 

Would it feasible to have legal limit (loafing) output with 100 watts of
drive (limited on the input to meet the 15 db gain FCC spec)?

 

Or am I just being too ignorant?
