The thermal instability of the parallelled mosfets is likely to be enough to ensure that, even without the cumbersome need of short-circuiting the amplifier output.
Michael,
you seem to be oddly fascinated by this evidently average design. Do you intend to build it? Hopefully, you have moderate expectations on sonic performance, which can position itself quite a bit below mediocre. (With some luck).

Streams will be higher as 50 milliamperes. Resistances smaller as 100Ω. Exactly will be decided by transistor. According to measurements based on zener diodes is less than 5V. Everything will be specified for each module individually.
Thank you Federmann,
are you going to use the popular high performance VAS transistors Sanyo 2SA1540/2SC3955 or Toshiba 2SA1360/2SC3423 for your T107 and T108, the aforementioned transistors are virtually the very best one can find these days.
Lumba Ogir,
I bet you would be jealous if I would build Federmanns 1kW amp because it would smoke you out literally!

Nothing, if that's all you do. I've trimmed out some rather intemperate personal attacks. Please keep it to technical discussion.
simulations are no answer. Replacing a 'mind only' by a 'simulation only' design has some 'smell' too.

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
Your involvement is not even my involvement, I wonder why submit the involvement of entirely different?
Please look at what's over those colored circles in the text written on each diode in my text.
Why you do not read text and write what the text is not?

„Chceme-li dosáhnout u tranzistoru IRFP9240PbF saturačního napětí v rozmezí 2÷3V a zároveň proudové omezení v rozmezí 4÷4,5A, použijeme omezení napětí UGS v rozmezí 5,1÷5,4V. V tomto pracovním bodě je vhodné spojované tranzistory překontrolovat. Obdobné hodnoty vyjdou pro saturaci v jiném pracovním bodě.“
"If we want to bring the transistor IRFP9240PbF saturation voltage in the range of 2 ÷ 3V while current restrictions in the range of 4 ÷ 4,5 A, will use UGS limited voltage range 5.1 ÷ 5.4 V. At this point it is appropriate to the work associated transistors check. Similar values come to work in a saturation point. "
Here is why it will not work well without source resistors. Let's look at Vgs = 4.5V and Vds > 10V. In that case, the drain current is:
For temperature = 25 Celsius, it is Ids = 0.6A.
For temperature = 150 Celsius, it is Ids = 25A.
That is not a reduction in current with increased temperature!
All the parallelled transistors have the same Vgs so the hottest one will work harder than the others. Drawing a load line and pointing at it is nonsense. It is current sharing that is the problem, nothing to do with the load line.
However, the BUZ9** transistors you mention on your page do not have this problem. They can be parallelled just fine without resistors.

You understand exactly. I care about the overall importance of repayment feedback. Therefore, I do not want any local feedback, which is moving in profit. Linearity is then given the linearity of elements, but the margin of profit.
Nice evening.
so what about real world examples?

I'm now waiting of your pictures. Does a prototype exists yet?

Hi Federmann,
The unanswered question is still there. Do you have a working prototype, or is it still in the conceptual stage right now? Simulators tend to give very optimistic performance numbers.
We have seen many simulated designs that do not work in real life. Therefore, I think our members are interested in real measurements.

I can enter data into the simulator, so that they are not mistakes. Here you can see the correct function of restrictions.
