Hello, Murf: the label probably refers to the radios power consumption of 200 watts, which is pretty high but then again it is a 16 tube set.

The 816K's output power was around 25 watts, which was substantial back in 1937. The power tubes were 2X 6L6 driven by a 6F6, which was what Philco went to in 1938 for their top of the line 38-690 sets, although the Philco was rated at 15W output.
