As I've stated several times, NO.could it output 4W (or more) even if the signal is clipped/saturated

i really appreciate your knowledge, i just find that with the 20W consumption that it could only output 13mW is too much a loss, it is an efficiency question, i am not looking for any useful power or signal at all, i just need to know, what wattage it could put out (all inclusive of all broadband harmonics), it is more of a structural efficiency question, what power can it possibly use to convert the input RF into RF and into heat from the 20W consumption (irrespective of signal usefulness)?A maximally clipped waveform is a square wave, and it has twice the power of an unclipped sine wave but...
The extra power is in harmonics. It has no more power at the fundamental frequency than the maximum unclipped sine wave.
You are in the realm of what my wife calls magical thinking if you think you can get useful power out of that signal amplifier.
