Big Sankens?
Quite a few Sansuis have similar dynamic power ratings e.g.
AU-X901
225W into 8 ohms
390W into 4 ohms
410W into 2 ohms
AU-X701
175W into 8 ohms
260W into 4 ohms
320W into 2 ohms
B-2301
480W into 8 ohms
580W into 4 ohms
780W into 2 ohms
B-2102
320W into 8 ohms
510W into 4 ohms
680W into 2 ohms
I'd probably take a few of them with a grain of salt though, along with any ability to support 2 ohm loads reliably and for long periods of time.
I see your 8 and raise you 12.

Isn't 'Dynamic Power' - just a posh way of saying 'Music Power' ? - which is an instantaneous peak power only achievable every now and again - and depends largely on how beefy the power supply is.
Show me amplifiers that can tolerate 2Ω loads continuously - then I'll get a bit more excited.

... At that event I was told shorting the outputs continuously wouldn't kill it and one guy claimed to have tried it, but i can't vouch for that one...
I heard that story too. I heard it from a guy who heard it from a guy.... . Actually I heard it from the guys at Reg Mills Stereo (R.I.P.) in Brisbane - might be true. Another story I heard was that one of their clients use to use the ME1400 at their beach house and mounted them under the floor boards exposed to the elements; apparently he would just buy new amps every couple of years! (the amp was almost AU$10k at the time)There was a rumour about ME welding with one of their amps driven by a sine wave- it may have been true, but there was a lot of bluster back in those days.
Similar welding stories on the Iverson E K Eagle amps. Probably others as well. My father taught welding, I don't believe any of them actually did that as he would define"welding".I wish specs sheets would also discuss reactive load handling
