PC P&C actually tried on the 240VA limit for everything above the old 510W before realizing the SSA spec wasn't right for home computers and going to single 12V rather than make the rail distribution make sense.

Only up until you realize it's the same sort of idea used by your household breaker box.

It was meant as a poke at PC P&C. Their old PSU Myths page tried making them sound like a bunch of single-rail rebels in a world of multi-rail madness.
