I have a big old Sierra Electronic 500w coaxial load with heat sink and built in power meter; weighs about 40-50 lbs; makes a dandy door stop, too! It is rated to 1000-MHz.
I found a nice oil-cooled dummy load with a big heat sink integral to it at a hamfest many years ago. It's rated 500W continuous. That was a good day. Doorstop -- you betcha! :) Measured it with my VNWA and found that it's good well into UHF. No attached power meter though, but found a nice Bird with some slugs on another day.
I've also found industrial quality 10W and 100W dummy loads at hamfests that were salvaged from cell sites. One purchase yielded nearly ten of them.
This is the sort of stuff I look for at hamfests (some call them flea markets or swap meets). Also high quality connectors and adapters.
