Dual rectifiers not needed for 100W amps?

Dual rectifiers not needed for 100W amps?
    I had thought that a single rectifier could not handle the current draw for a 4-6L6 amp... which was why they used diodes in their Twin Reverb. And then Mesa came out with their 100W Dual Recto amps using two recto tubes.  
 
    Or did I stay home when this topic was discussed in class? ;)
