I just spoke to Rex about this.
He basically says it's not as simple as stated above, but usually
panels with oscillators use up more juice than those with none. He
suggests that a Blue Voice panel (i.e., one with 3 oscillators) is
equivalent to (roughly) 1.5 non-vco panel (ergo, a PS6 should feed no
more than 4 of these babies). Other high-maintenance panels: those
with freq shifters and resonant EQ's in them (f. example, the Soup
Kitchen).
He also recommends that, if in doubt about the power needs of your
individual panels (particularly custom ones), just CALL HIM AND ASK
HIM.
Better than perpetuating unsettling conjectures...........

Peace.
