There was no question regarding if the amp had a bypass 'mode' It was as
you quoted;
"How much power can I run through a KPA500 that is in BYPASS"
So in 'standby' mode the amp is 'in bypass' as its input is connected to its
output.
So it seems an unnecessary invalid initial answer to a question that did not
exist regarding bypass mode.
However ;
"You may run up to 200 watts through the KPA500 in STBY." was on the money.

KPA500 has no "BYPASS" mode. It is either Off, On in STBY, or On in OPER.
The KPA500 Owner's Manual says - "Transmitting - The POWER (W) and standing wave
ratio (SWR) bargraphs are functional when the amplifier is in standby (STBY). Twenty-five
watts from the driving transceiver will illuminate the first POWER LED. You may run up to
200 watts through the KPA500 in STBY."
The answer to your question would appear to be "200 W".
