Jim beat me to saying it:

Depends on what band, what application you are talking about.

JT65 was created for weak-signal eme (originally) ...and where I use it 1000w is QRO and 600w is not. QRP must be used in context of what is being attempted...I ran 150w on 2m-eme and that is considered QRPp.

On eme RF power is not very accurate description; ERP more relevant (eme doesn't happen without certain amount of antenna gain). My QRPp ERP was = 150w x 83* = 12,450w, *19.2 dBd ant gain = x83

Currently I run 1300w, and ERP = 1300 x83 = 107.9 kW
wouldn't you like to run that on 20m!

JT65HF is a "johnny come lately" mode. But there are a whole suite of digital modes available for experimentation by all aspects of ham radio - just be careful with sweeping statements without stating their application.

on 78-GHz 1w is super QRO.

On HF, yes. On 160M, 6M, 2M, or moonbounce, it's QRP. JT65 is a WEAK
SIGNAL mode, NOT a QRP mode. Caps added for emphasis.
