Default Filter choke specs

Hello,

Can power supply filter chokes be used beyond their stated current
ratings? Are they typically rated for continuous duty? If so, if used
in ICAS service can I draw more current than rated?

For example, I have a choke rated for 5 Henries at 400 MA (25 Ohms).
I'd like to use it in a circuit drawing up to 650 MA peak. This would
be for a class C amp -- CW only.

Thanks for any input.
