Power consumption is about 210 watts at 220 volts per amp...this will be fairly constant, as they are class A (meaning they always run at full blast, irrespective of how much sound is coming out)...does that make it about 1amp ??? I'm hoping 2amp plus a tiny bit more for the pre-amp will not create too much heat in the additional transformer.
As for quality...this is a bit of a gamble, ... I believe the stuff I am buying is pretty near to US / American standards of construction, but it definitely has 220 volt power supplies (which suit Europe fine, but sadly not us in the UK). The gear I am buying does not currently have a formal UK importer, so is not available with 240 volt freindly supply. If its good stuff, I'll upgrade components in due course...if its not, I'll live and learn and stick it on ebay with a suitably realistic description.
