Peavey 130 watt amps

Happy Holidays!
I may be laboring under a false assumption, perhaps y'all will set me straight.
It seems that a number of Peavey amps of various configuartions list the power rating as 130 watts.
Does this mean that these various amps all shared the same power smp circuits? I mean does a Session 400 share a power amp section with a Special 130 or one of those monitor amps with the graphic EQ?

Just curious because...I have been given one of those monitor amps, it works fine by the way. I wonder if I use it behind a pre-amp of some sort or feed a signal from a line out of one of my other amps, will it behave like an old Peavey guitar or steel amp?

I'm always thinking of ways to cobble things together like that.

Thanks in advance for the information.

The power amps are all a standard classic design from that era. The differnce is the rail voltages are less on the 130 watt amps as compared to the 200 watt amps. Even the Webb and Evans amps were basically that same classic power amp design.

The later Peaveys excelled by others by using an additional circuit in the power amp to control clipping and thereby saving speakers, the DDT compresssion circuit.
