No it doesn't, at least for the engineers who created this little tuner.
Please check the Elecraft T-1 FAQ, :)

*Q:  What’s the highest power level the T1 can handle?  Can I use my 30-40
watt amplifier?*

*A:* The T1 is rated at 20 W SSB/CW and 10 W FM/AM/digital modes. However,
to ensure that the design is rugged, we did stress-testing at 100 watts
(very briefly–don’t do this on purpose). Things got very warm during these
tests, but no damage occurred. We also used the T1 for an extended period
in SSB and CW modes at 40 watts to simulate the emergency use of
backpacking amplifiers. Again, this did not damage the tuner. But just to
be safe, we’re sticking with our 20 W rating."
