Seems to me the upper power limit in those days was 1,000 watts,

I'm not sure when, but it changed from 1500 Watts input to 1,000 Watts output.

The current limit on most bands is 1500 watts, Peak Envelope Power
(which is an output-power measurement). It has been quite a while
since the limit was specified in terms of input power to the final
amplifier.

1,000 Watts is a lot of power and may not be of much use, depending upon
what you want to do with it. The difference between 100 watts and 1,000 is
not very much when the band is open and not crowded, in a contest it may be
the difference between making contacts and getting lost in the pileup.

Correct.
