On the 42-1008, rough calculations show between 50-60 watts. That's not a very powerful set of tubes.
You might want to invest in one of those cheap "Kill A Watt" digital boxes that show line volts, current drain, wattage, and watt hours; they cost less than $25. They can be used very effectively with a variac to monitor current and voltage. Mine has been used extensively for locating household current drain as a solar electric system comes on-line.
