But the the breakers in this "panel" are not qualified for branch
circuit protection, so it doesn't qualify as a subpanel by any
stretch of the imagination, and if it were wired permanently to a
breaker larger than 20A would violate the NEC. Depending on its
construction, it may or may not be legal if permanently wired to a
20A circuit. The safest bet is to use it as a good rugged power
strip.

Any reason this device couldn't be wired to a 30A electric clothes
dryer pigtail and plugged into a 240V dryer receptacle, to provide
120V, 60A total to downstream devices? The receptacle would have to
be all 4 proper conductors of course: 2 hots, neutral, and ground.

That should be fine. That might even be what Ned was suggesting.
