[John Geiger]

Yes, I have tried that and a sustained whistle shows around 85-90 watts on
the 756PRO meter.

the 756PRO as well.  The 756 original I had would do the full 100 out on SSB
according to its meters (had 2 of them, they both did it).

necessary.  That message also said that you could turn up the power to 100
watts internally.  I have briefly looked in the service manual and didn't
find exactly how to do this.

doing the full 100W on CW and FM.
