I can't find it...but there were several big brqnds that did poorly and yes, there is a direct correlation between amperage and wpc. The Denons, Sonys, Technics, Onkyos and others that did poorly were your run of the mill 90X5 or 100X5 recievers from 8 or 9 years ago. NAD and Harmon Kardon were two that beat their ratings.

Remember, this was Stereo Revew (or actually, Sound and Vision), so Rotel, Parasound, McIntosh, and other better amplified receivers were not included.
