The specs are:
Power Output (8 ohm, 1 kHz, FTC) 100 W/Ch
Dynamic Power* -
THD (Rated Power) 0.08 % (all channels)

You're right. This is the power output at 1kHz and not across the whole operating band, and this is almost certainly measured without all channels driven at the same time, which is a huge load on the PS and hence lower power output in entry level AV receivers.

Stereo integrated putting 100 W into 8 ohms with < 0.08% THD at under a lac? Here you go --> NAD Electronics :: C372 Stereo Integrated Amplifier

150 W @ 8 ohms, 20Hz - 20 kHZ, 0.02% THD, INR 48k, IIRC.

I have PMed you the shipping address.
