Default Size of dummy load required to tune 160 Watts CW, 200 W PEP SSB ?

My old TS-520S is said to put out 160 watts DC CW and
200 watts PEP SSB .
Whats the minimum dummy load requirement to tune it ?

There are kits for 100 watt dummy loads. Would that be
enough for brief ( ~ 10 sec ) tuning ?

Are there standards as to how the rating of a dummy load
is to be interpreted ?
