I also use an Astron RS-70 for my K3Ss. Like you, mine was not  
purchased for this purpose. It is under my desk so the physical size  
is not an issue and I have no worries about overloading it.

I got a kick out of "big hulking supply," too.  I have an RS-70 on my K3.  It
used to power a lot more stuff, but since I downsized my station, it loafs
along.  Definitely overkill, but it sits under the desk, out of the way, so
why not?  Oh yeah, my keyer's on it, too, and still doesn't get warm, even
at QRQ :-)
