Where's any 2SC2879 data sheet that specifies its "1% compression
point"?

Frank, I'm surprised at you.
It doesn't... that parameter doesn't apply to the transistor itself...
only a final amplifier. After all, how would Toshiba know what
frequency or class of operation were being used? Both of these, as well
as the actual amplifier circuit chosen are critical to where the
compression point will lie.
