Power level  should not affect the impedance of a load.  If it does,
then something is wrong.  A part may be heating up and changing value,
in which case the matching network should be fixed.  You should be
able to put a vswr analyzer on the amp input and see the R + X for
some frequency, and those values should hold for whatever drive power
you use on the same frequency.
