AT/ATX PC Power Supply Units (PSU) are typically rated in Watts. The Wattage Rating can be in Peak Wattage or Constant Wattage. Every Power Supply has a peak wattage and a constant wattage, but it isn't uncommon for only one or the other to be advertised and not both.
Peak Wattage is how many amps the PSU can give out for a short period of time before overheating. The length of time a PSU can sustain this peak wattage is generally about 30-60 seconds.
Constant Wattage is how many amps the PSU can give out nonstop. This number is always less than its Peak Wattage counterpart. Constant Wattage is usually (but not always) rated at 40c.
For example, if we assume a 75% efficiency between peak and constant wattage, a PSU may be advertised at 500 Watts peak, but may only do 375 Watts constant. When compared to a 450 Watt constant PSU, the 500 Watt peak PSU might sound more powerful at first, but the 450 Watt constant PSU would be able to do 600 Watts peak.
