The back of the oven gives microwave(non grill) input and output power-so which one you pick magnetron by in catalogues(when not relying on mag designaton number)? Or perhaps catalogue mag power=HVtransformer output power, or, catalogue mag power=2*HVtransformer voltage*current? (example catalogue
Simple answer = The one that fits (WES may have different third party brands as well as the OEM part that will fit depending on what it is.)
The power output is a product of the power supply, not the magnetron. I take it you've never replaced a magnetron in a microwave oven before? Make sure you know what you're doing or you might not be posting here again in this lifetime!

There is more than just the power rating when selecting a magnetron replacment for a microwave oven. It is important to have a proper match for the required voltage, heater current, and mechanical fit. If there are any radiation leaks or if the power rating is not properly matched there will be some very serious safety issues with the usage of the oven.
I suggest that you make sure you have the proper part and it is installed properly. After installation it is very important to do the radiation measurements to make sure that there is no danger of radiation leak.

There should be a part number on the old magnetron.
There are cross-reference lists available to check compatibility.

here's a video to show how to get the part number off the magnetron:
