Under normal operating conditions you will not have to fear any power restrictions due to thermal limitations.

My previous post confirmed that their power output doubles as the load impedance halves, and I did not question the power output they guarantee. I only pointed out that operation is only specified as being in 'Class A' for the rated power into 8 ohms and you can see that in their specs as the ratings into lower impedances are not designated as 'Class A'. The class of operation goes into AB into impedances lower than 8 ohms at the rated power levels.
