Bill got back to me and he said that his measurement of 100 W was in a common mode of operation: BFO off and Cal off.  The rx's had tube recs, power in was 120 vac, and it was set above 8 mh.  I did some quick rough  calculations and with those and the 1st xtal osc on (below 8 mh), I estimate the additional draw would be about 9 Watts.  About half of that was the calibrator.
