I was thinking about something similar but on a smaller scale.  Perhaps
Siamese SB-220s with paralleled power supplies via HV wiring.  One power
suppliy augmenting the other with additional current available to the unit
transmitting.  It seems to me that this plan would provide additional power
availability without problems from over voltage.

Hello Bob,

I would think it is perfectly do-able.

W3LPL, a super M/M contest station in MD, has ONE, really MASSIVE
xformer/pwr supply providing all the HV for 5 different 3-1000 home brew
amps, which all run at the same time.

There may be some secrets to doing this other than having enough total
current capability, but I'm not aware of them.
