All reported power measurements are going to be Watts RMS. That's cuts down on the false claims where an amp can hit 100 Watts for a microsecond, but can only deliver 15 Watts RMS.

If you have a signal which is supposed to go: 0.98, 0.99, 1.00, 0.99, 0.98, but instead it goes: 0.98, 0.99, 0.99, 0.99, 0.98. That's clipped, and would create something like 0.016% THD.

Forget I said hard. Tubes tend to compress the signal at first rather than clip, so people call that soft clipping.
