If you have a 100 watt transmitter, the watt meter shows 3 watts

reflected power go's. But where did it come from? If I could find a
way to have 100 watts reflected I could put 200 watts to the antenna
from a 100 watt transmitter.

The key word is "to", not "accepted by". You can indeed get 200 watts
to (incident upon) the antenna with a 100 watt transmitter. Trouble
is, the antenna only accepts half of that power.

For some reason I need a circulator on my SB-401.

Only if you allow reflected energy to reach your SB-401.

To get max power out my 6146's I need to turn them upside down in a
glass of water? :-)

Only if they are metal.
