You still treat the 7x fittings as 700W of load; since you could

OK, thanks. It'd stand that but 100W lamps might melt something; I'd better
put in dome ally reflectors/heat shields. I woudn't put even a 40W GLS near
anything that might suffer from the heat, but I've seen several things
melted by over-powered lamps.

Bbbbutt! you can no longer get GLS blubs greater than 60w (or so they say).

I haven't used a GLS lamp for years.

Most shops seem to have stocks of 100W ones again...
