200 WPC and its able to double to 400 as required for short outputs.

Found this online:
1978 Hitachi SR-2004 Class G Receiver
Fifth most powerful "all in one" Monster Receiver made during the "Power Wars" of the late 1970's
SR-2004 were made by Hitachi, making this receiver a real rarity and somewhat of a "purebread".
What really made the SR-2004 stand out was its "Class G" Amplifier, with a prodigious 200 watt RMS per channel power output, placing it among the most powerful receivers ever made. In fact, according to a review from the November 1978 issue of "High Fidelity" Magazine, it was capable of dynamic peaks of 400 watts/ch "that gives it a shot a first place in the receiver power race". When High Fidelity tested the SR-2004, it found that the power output was actually more like 240 watt/ch RMS.
