Default How do I know the true wattage output of my receiver?

Like the title says. I have the receiver in my sig, and I'm curious lately as to how much it actually puts out when in 2-chan or 5.1-chan mode. I guess the reason I'm curious is that in the latest Sound and Vision mag, it has testing on two receivers, and they both put out different wattage compared to what they are rated. One puts out rated power in 2-chan mode, but puts out alot less in 5.1 and 7.1 modes. The other puts out greater than rated in 2-chan mode and rated power in 5.1 and 7.1 modes.

Do we really know what we're getting when we buy a receiver? Does anyone know of some mathematical formula or something that uses voltage output or something, to test the results?
