It's good to know that my MC452 is just as powerful as the 601...
Well I guess I was proven wrong???

It's a placebo effect, the 452 is a very capable amp. Unless you love playing at wall shattering levels or the idea of owning mono-blocks, the 601's are nothing more than audiophile trophies.

Why is it Amp manufacture don't publish current rating on their Amp and only in Watts??

Because it's expensive to make high current (Class A/AB) amplifiers. Class D amplifiers are making high current amplifiers more affordable, not to mention more compact and cooler, but there are tradeoffs with this approach. It's also harder to market (promote the sale) on the basis of amperes. It's more impressive to see a 600 watt amplifier listed than it would be a 41 ampere one. And since power is the product of voltage and current it's easier to normalise comparisons with other amplifiers.
