PS Audio PS1000 to power a large tube amp?

I am considering one of these for my front end and cj Premier 140? Is this asking too much?

I ran a Levinson #40A, Levinson #40V, Levinson #51, JBL SDEC-2500A EQ, Digital Box, 61" Plasma, Theta Voyager, Stewart Screen, Faroudja NRS, and a trio of Levinson 436's without problems. Granted, it was just 3 months while power was being run!
