Long term plan 8 channels of 50 W GEM power... http://www.zen22142.zen.co.uk/Circuits/Audio/gem100.htm
There's two versions, a constant current source and a choke version.
I don't know why, but a friend of mine sez the choke will be better, I suspect it is beyond me to know why... maybe it is because I'm prolly going to ask him to bias or fiddle with the ccs until everything works out -  ;) which I can't blame the oke for... So i'm open for peasant version discussion/suggestions...

Maybe related, but what does the size of the transformer have to do with anything but cahunas, weight and supply ripple?
