Does this look like a good design for a power amp?

No.. it'd work, thats about all you can say about it.
There's some good circuits on Sam's page: http://users.otenet.gr/~athsam/index.htm
Or theres Rod Elliot's P3A: http://sound.westhost.com/project3a.htm
Or MikeB's SymAsym: http://www.lf-pro.net/mbittner/Sym5_Webpage/symasym5.html
Or Destroyer X's amp: http://users.tpg.com.au/users/gerskine/dxamp/
The last two have PCB designs available which means you won't have to design one. Rod sells a PCB for his P3A amp.

Hi,
150+ watts here . Compare.
using this design.... http://www.redcircuits.com/Page65.htm
power supply transformer is the hammond 165P60

I'm wondering if the transformer is too much for this circuit....

Hi,
It looks to me as if this transformer secondary voltage is too high for this circuit, if I have read this info correctly.
To end up with around 60VDC for the suggested circuit requirements, when using a full-wave bridge rectifier arrangement like this, the transformer secondary should not be much higher than say 45V AC.
The transformer you specify has 2 x 30V AC secondaries (or 60V centre tapped) which will give you in the region of 80+V DC at the circuit.
In fact it doesn't look as if there is a suitable transformer in that range, unfortunately.
Regards,
P.S. Yes, I just noticed that the specs lower down on the schematic suggest 48 -50V secondaries.
