Even a 20-ampere supply is plenty big enough to drive the K2/100 to full power with current to spare. After all, Elecraft is always conservative in their recommendations and they spec a 20 amp supply to drive the K2/100. My 20 amp Astron loafs along with the K2/100 and even supplies power to a few accessories as well.
You can even run two supplies. Your current low current supply hooked to the K2 and a heavier duty supply connected to the KPA100 amp. That way the heavier supply only needs to supply the KPA100. Something in 12-15 amp range should be plenty big enough. The diodes in the K2 keep the supplies electrically separate.

Any of the Astron 35 series. RS35, VS35M etc. I have a VS35M since abt 1992, and on my KPA100 and it is great. I think Ian from GB on one of the reflectors said he just bought one yesterday, so they are available.
