"all residential stove top burners will never exceed 17k btu's... manufacturers are too scared. a restaurant top will go as high as 36k btu's on a gas model."

Yeah, Viking and Dacor and some other top models top out at 18K, the average range only has 12K-15K, while I can find almost 38K on the restaurant models.

I'm sure the problem is the lack of adequate heatproofing, ventilation, and fire suppression in most home kitchens to accomodate the true pro burners. If you are sophisticated enough to buy a real restaurant range for your house, you probably have a builder who can build your kitchen to make it safe.

Even so, restaurant stoves usually see so much more food volume than a home stove. Few people are making several gallons of soup, chili, etc. in a single pot, which occurs daily in a restaurant.
