Actually, I specifically mentioned power output.

No, you didn't. You only mentioned watts, not whether it
was consumption or production. 'Ratings' apply to both.
My answer still holds.


Indeed, but we're not sure exactly what's being held. I mentioned a 50W
amplifier. It's quite apparent that I'm talking about rated power output
by virtue of my post being directed toward a guitar amplifier newsgroup,
and guitar amplifiers being referred to by their rated power output.

Only if you refer to the title of the post, 'same output'...
this, indeed, does point to 'watts' as 'output'. OTOH,
'electric current' definitely refers to consumption from
the line. There was ambiguity... but my answer was
clear. It holds for both cases... watts in or out doesn't
change. When you move the voltage selector, you should
change the fuse.
