Are you saying storage heaters stay on at full power for the 7 hour

effectively determined by the dial thermostat?

Storage heaters normaly have two controls "input" and "output". Both are
thermostatic devices.

The input one controls how hot the bricks are made in the off peak
period. The hotter you make the bricks the more heat is stored and the
longer it takes to heat them up.

The output control is a nominal room thermostat that opens/closes a flap
that controls how much air convects through the bricks and thus how much
heat is released into the room.
