It doesn't matter what the kW was. Using 1kW can cause a boom, it takes
longer.

Not if the cylinder can lose 1kW by radiation/convection,

You really don't know.

Neither do you...

Reduction ad absurbdum - 1mW will never blow such a cylinder up, unless the
insulation was near perfect.

10kW is pretty likely to blow it up regardless of insulation, ambient
temperatures etc.

Somewhere in betwee, there will acheivable equilibrium states that do not
exceed the operational pressures of the vessel.

Is that too hard for you?
