Remember - you've only got 117V to ground from either

The same thing can be said about a 1000 watt RF amp driving a balanced load and the voltage delivered by that amp to a 50 ohm load is lower than the voltage going to my clothes dryer which I just measured at 250 volts.

You have 250 V across the lines (actually should be around 234-240),
But only about 117-120V to ground.

And what the voltage across a balanced load is is immaterial, since
verticals are not balanced.
