Measuring amp power.


Is there a way to measure the wattage from an amp or integrated? I'm particularly interested in tube amps.

I mean, yes, anyone could given the correct gear.  A signal generator, distortion analyzer and power resistors adequate to the task.

Poke around the Stereophile web site.  They publish how they test and recently had an article on the amp pre-conditioning (i.e. pre-heating) requirement. 
Anything short of this is just kind of hackery.
