I do have multiple outlets on 2 different circuits but the house is older and way overdue for an electrical update.
As far as what fuse rating comes in the new 911mk3 monoblocks, I will see what is in there and replace with the same rating. I am very curious if the 6.3A fuse or something higher will be installed by Burmester. What I find disconcerting is the lack of information on the Burmester website. Bryston, Dartzeel and even McIntosh (although not as good as they used to be) provide a wealth of info on their sites. I know of 2 other friends with 911mk3 amps, both of which have 6.3A fuses from the factory. I apologize if my previous comments were posted with a little bravado, it gets a little frustrating getting correct info and I am glad Ivan has been stellar in helping to provide it.

Hi Joe,
I'm pleased that you are going to uprate your electrics
, you'll have no more concerns over power consumption or fuse sizes.
I agree that getting information out of Burmester is frustratingly difficult, even impossible at times. Even the English section of the web site turns to German if you want the specs. It's certainly an area that could do with a great deal of improvement.
It will be very interesting to see what the fuse sizes are in your new 911mk3s, but ultimately it really makes no difference. As long as your circuit can handle the power consumption, it's up to Burmester to provide a fuse that will protect your considerable investment in their products. But I still want to know!
