30 watts per channel according to the specs at hifiengine.com. Not a lot by later standards, sure, but you could say that transistorized receivers were in their "toddler stage" then.

Fisher's first mostly transistorized receiver, the 600-T, had come out only a year before (late 1965). I think its output power is 45 watts per channel, and that's all germanium power (four transistors per channel). The 700 uses silicon outputs. I have a 600-T in the basement; it is a very nice unit indeed. Very heavy, too. Solidly built, as were all of the early Fisher transistorized receivers as well as the older Fisher tube gear.
