What is the maximum Amateur Radio/Ham Radio transmission wattage allowed for 10 and 12 meter bands?

For example, can someone use a 10 kW transmitter if a valid license is held for Amateur Radio?

    Assuming you are in the US, if operating on 10m as a Novice or Technician, you are limited to 200w. Otherwise you can work 1.5kw on 10m and 12m. Although 1.5kw is allowed, you are to use the minimum power needed to work a station. 10kw is WAY out of the ballpark.

    It depends what the license and the regulations in their country specify.

    I have not heard of anything more than 1.5KW allowed for the highest license classes.
