Whew, now I feel good.  I pull around 30 amps using 4 15kv neons
in parrallel.  Three potted ones (90ma total) and an unpotted one
for a grand total of 141ma.  I guess if you calculate that it was around
2.2kva.  I wonder how exactly I did that, but I know now.  Too wide of
a spark gap, and I've since replaced a poly cap because of it also heh..
