Hey Euro -

Not trying to be a pain, but your caps lock is stuck......

The rating is 7 channels at 300w into 4ohms, continuous, so this isn't a peak figure. I'm guessing the 770 draws over 15 amps (19 maybe???) in this highly artificial scenario.

Assuming 100% efficiency it would still draw 17.5 @ 120 volts.

Although most household circuits are wired with 12 gauge wire and protected by 20 amp breakers (and so could supply this) I'd be surprized if UL approved the 770 for this use - the sort of plug most audio equipment has is a 15 amp rated plug.

o 15 amp x 120 volt

o 20 amp x 120 volt (IIRC)

Any way you cut it - in a real listening setup the total draw over time is going to be a lot less than this figure. Maybe UL looked at that factor - who knows?
