SQUAREHEAD Well-known member Wednesday at 4:45 PM #2 I spoke with Andy once and he said my 16ohm Hotplate was fine with any Mesa at 8ohm… I believe 160 watts was his rough safe limit for the unit. I’ve used mine for decades and the only time I got a little nervous was running it with an old 200W Marshall Major. Keep in mind, when you’re running an amp at 8ohm into a 16ohm Hotplate, it only sees 1/2 the amp’s wattage. .

stephen sawall Well-known member Wednesday at 8:24 PM #3 Like Keith said around 160 watts. I like the Hot Plate with a Rectifier because it compresses and smooths the highs. It's not like your going to crank a Rectifier. I rarely turned mine up past 1 o'clock. Only amp they mentioned was the Fryette Deliverance 120. They said be careful with that one. I ran it just not cranked. I have definitely seen Andy crank a few amps into a Hot Plate.
