  Welcome, from San Antonio! Without a service manual, you may still be able to look at the amplifier section, identify the output stages and any variable resistors nearby. Typically, in most amp circuits I have seen, the process is to measure output transistor emitter current as a voltage drop across the very low value, and usually a 5-watt emitter resistors. Look around, see what you may find. I the amp is running cool, no distortion in the output signal. there may no need to adjust anything.
