Thanks for the useful info J M, I am now closer to understanding how this all works.
Your comment quoted above has opened my eyes more than you can imagine. I wasn´t even taking these wild differences into consideration... I don´t plan on using a limiter circuit so maybe respectful distance from poweramp clipping is the key and not worry about max power.

a heavy handed guy will reach that around 5, and a weakling, without technique, with poor guitar and pickups still has some extra gain to reach full power.
