I haven't worked with one in a while, but I know it'll take at least 36v in, and
the limit on power is basically whatever you can handle as far as heat
dissipation. So if you get the one in the big transistor-body package (TO-3, I
think?) and use a fat heatsink, you could run several amps through it. It helps
if the difference between input and output voltages isn't too high.
