That's about how my SB200 runs. If I run much over 100w, it gets to red for my comfort. I never stop talking so I guess I am at it's peak.

Actually, it should cool down a little when you talk. Maximum plate dissipation is under unmodulated carrier conditions. The DC input to the final should remain unchanged regardless of modulation. So the additional output power in the sidebands, at constant DC input, means that the efficiency becomes higher as the carrier is modulated, and the plates should cool down a bit.
