While not a solution to your problem, I'd get a 'Kill-A-Watt' power meter.
This will give you power line voltage, current draw, power factor, VA / Watts and total power drawn by system while plugged in...with an hour meter.
These things are very cheap. like 25$ or so.
At least you will be able to satisfy yourself that you are not dragging the line down. Also, in an apartment, you are not likely to be able to crank it to the point of putting a dent in what power you CAN get.
Use premium extension cords. 12/3 would be where I started. The cheesy 14/3 stuff won't cut it.
I HAVE and use the PSAudio Soloist outlet...had an electrician install it. Good stuff, but I don't know how that helps you.
