How many watts can a 12A power supply support?

This one always trips me up. I'm rethinking my power delivery and looking at doing my digital side through a 12Amp isolation transformer. I've got about 700 watts of power consumption from my digital side (pre/pro, TV, DVD, Sat box, wall warts). Is 12 amps enough?

i am pretty sure how many volts you have comes into this equation too.

12amps * 120VAC =1440 watts. Looks like you have enough juice.
