Default Class C amps saturating?

The Class C transistor amplifiers I design and use most certainly
saturate. I believe that's standard practice for solid state amplifiers.


And as a followup, is the power dissipation in the final controlled
by the duty cycle of the pulses (or number of degrees of conduction
more generally if the input is not a square wave)?
