The Cary (and presumeably the Bel Canto) drive the output tube grid into class A2 which significantly increases grid current and distortion. However, it isn't intended to stay in this mode of operation except for extreme dynamic peaks. Normal operation is class A up to around 25 watts as Ed pointed out.
Along with WAVAC, Legend Audio also makes an amp using the 833 tube with at least 100 watts (possibly 200?), but I don't know if it is actually a product or just a statement item. Wyetech has 45 watt SET mono-blocks, though they use two complete amp channels in parallel to produce this kind of power. Also, the company deHavilland makes a SET mono-block with the Russian GM70 tube that is a solid 30 watt.
Of course, there are those who feel that anything over 10 watts SET requires too many sonic compromises, but this will force the use of very efficient speakers. Hope this helps.
