Output transformer rating...

Tim	Output transformer rating... I have an output transformer that came out of an old Conn organ amplifier. It was used in conjunction with a pair of 7027A's in push-pull. I'm trying to figure out how much power I can get this transformer to deliver without burning it up. The data sheets for the 7027 said they could provide anywhere from 24 to 76 watts. I'm kindof at an impass now. Is there an easy way to test this transformer for it's max power rating? And if I purchase a larger power transformer than needed, will this be a problem?
