Why would RTTY operation be any different then AM operation? And with

You are. of course, absolutely right. Any plate modulated AM transmitter would be able to run RTTY at full power with no issues. In fact RTTY would place less stress on the transmitter because the peak power is 1/4 the peak AM power and there would be no need to provide power to the modulator.
