What if he's running about 5kw out? This would make sense. 10% increase in input gives you a 10% increase in output power.

You have a real problem with your amp if going from 100 watts to 110 watts drive gives you a difference of 500 watts output from the amplifier. Actually, the rest of us are the ones who have the problem with your amplifier if it really does that. Do you realize the kind of distortion you must be putting out with that kind of non-linearity?
