I believe the 70 watts rating is a spike or max rating.  Meaning you can 
pull up to 70 watts for a few seconds, but not sustained or RMS.  The max 
possible output of the unit without pushing it outside it's specs or causing 
damage would be 45 watts.  Or at least that's what I read about the IIgs 
Power Supply.  I could be wrong as I don't have any technical documentation 
for it nor did I research the circuitry in the Power Supply or make any 
calculations.

Maybe someone can verify the 45 watts +/- of the standard IIgs Power Supply?
