Hi zox2003,
Just curious. Are you using a normal emitter follower configuration? If so, your output swing is limited by the op amp power supply less a few volts. Mr TL081 will not survive much over bipolar 15VDC supplies so ...

zox2003,
Do you have another stage to provide additional voltage drive to the output stage?? If you don't the max you will get is 25W into a 4 ohm load, 100W bridged in an optimistic, perfect world.

That's assuming you are running the op amp off a +-15VDC supply. If you don't provide +- 15VDC and connect it to the rails the chip will explode. We're talking a big, loud snap with maybe a sizzle. Could be fun you know. I think jacco wants to watch as well.

schematic is here

HEre is a schematic.How much power I can expect in this configuration?

Hi zox2003,
So how much voltage swing will you have to the drivers? Hint: If you increase the supplies to +- 300VDC it won't change.

There is no more voltage gain between the op amp and the drivers. You are therefore restricted to the available output voltage from the op amp. Your extra supply voltage only generates heat in the output stage, nothing else.
