Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot

Hi, currently I own a Luxman 590 Class A 30watts Integrated. After the unit running for more than half an hour if I put my hands on the top of the cabinet over or around the vents  it is burning hot , I even feel the heat on the sides of the cabinet, other than that the amp sounds good. Can anyone tell me if that’s normal or I should get it check out?
Thank you  in advance for your advice.

Thanks for the feedback 
I just did another reading from the Killawatt
Standby =1.1W
Idling power on with no input =318W
With input and music playing =326W
60Hz Volt 122

The back panel of the amp stated it is a 115 Volt /60Hz model

I have different brand class A amps in a custom cabinet with active ventilation. They are Krell Evolution 600 idle/listening moderately they are about 117 degrees when they are pushed approach 130. The owners manual of Krell lists the amps heat output in btu’s for each model incase one would buy it for a space heater as an alternate use.
