amplifier power consumption

A moment ago, I did a cursory search online to determine approximately how much power, in watts, a typical lower-powered integrated (50-70wpc) draws from an outlet. Didn't find a proper answer. Was wondering if anyone here might happen to know off the top of their head...

I ask b/c i want to buy and use a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) to use for my integrated (Sugden A48b) and was wondering what kind of numbers i would need to adequately supply power to the sugden. There are models that supply 200w, 330w, 450w and i believe one at 540w...

POssible that anyone here knows offhand which would suffice for my amplifier?

I'm going to go surf for more info now... Thanks!

Look on the back of your amp.

The largest your budget allows. Even though the watts may be sufficient to run your amp, dynamics can still suffer.
