This is a simple question and probably has the simple answer that I expect.
If an amplifier in the US is rated at 50W, for instance, would it naturally
follow that the same amp as a 240V version in the UK or Orstraylya would be
pulling roughly half the current?

Thanks etc

The output power rating of an amp, and the MAINS input current drawn
by an amp, are two
separate and distinct 'things'. The first takes place in the OT
secondary, and the second
in the PT primary.
