We have a circulating hot water system that's 125k BTU, and we don't have a big house. Just average size.
I know that's right because it's stamped right on the spec plate on the front.
And it was sized by a guy we knew to be expert in this stuff.
It's possible that they size water systems higher because the high heat capacity of the water stores that energy do well.
Not sure
