For honey warming - wax might need a bit more heat - next to -ugger all is needed, power-wise, especially if you add warm water at the start.
My old burco has three settings - high medium and low; it has two elements, no simmerstat and no electronics.
If one is clever enough, one can work out power for each of the settings. Just have to be clever enough not to use the high power setting if using something with lower contact ratings. The STC 1000 has contact ratings of 10 Amps, so reputedly good for a bit over 2 kW. My microclimate vivarium dimmerstats each have a power rating of 600W.
So not necessarily any power problem, one way or another.
If there were, it is not beyond belief that someone might think of adding an additional solid state relay as a total power regulator.
Where there is a will, there is a way.
