You don't understand "full volume".
Music and speech make pulses of power with much less power in between the pulses.
The average output power is maybe only 1/5th of the full volume.

But it is nice to have a power supply that is capable of testing the amplifier properly at continuous full power. A 2A transformer will be fine.

Did you test the hum by shorting the input to ground? If the hum continues to be bad then my filter modification won't work.
