I bought the Aiwa Mini HI-FI Component System model
JAX-PK8 ($360) and the amplifier section specs a

Power output
Rated: 140 W + 140 W (6 ohms, T.H.D. 1%, 1kHZ)
Total harmonic distortion
0.08 % (88 W, 1kHZ, 6 ohms, DIN AUDIO)

Questions
Can I assume that the clean power (without clipping)
is 44 W per channel?
Given 44 W per channel at 1 kHZ, how much can I expect
in the frequency range from 20 to 20000 HZ, maybe 35 W
per channel or even less?

Thanks in advance

ASk Aiwa and see what they say. You might also ask them why they don't
post their specs like normal companies do.

Yes.

If this amp follows the usual pattern, it is definitely clipping at 140 wpc,
and clipping just a tad at 88 wpc @ 1 KHz.

Probably someplace around 72 wpc, it's not clipping at all.

Given 44 W per channel at 1 kHZ, how much can I expect
in the frequency range from 20 to 20000 HZ, maybe 35 W
per channel or even less?

Again, if it follows the usual pattern, it is probably pretty clean 20-20KHz
at something like 60 wpc, more or less.
