One issue with solid state amps is that IMD increases rapidly well before the
saturation point. Probably most 100W rigs can be cranked up to 150W but with
bad IMD especially into some loads. So 700W saturated may mean 500W linear. 

The maximum semi-linear power can be easily found by measuring  1db or 2db
compression point. My Expert 2k-fa can easily deliver > 2 KW peak but the
compression point is around 1500W.
