For some reason, it never occured to me that transistors could be placed in parallel in a circuit...
This (along with the proper wire sizes to handle the additional power) apparently results in the equivalent of a single larger emulated transistor electronic component, able to handle much more power/current.
And, interestingly enough, these larger "emulated" transistor components (which are actually electronically equivalent to single transistors, just at higher power/current), could ALSO be stacked in parallel!
In other words, it should be possible to take many of the smallest, weakest (in terms of power/current handling capability) transistors, and build them up to larger and larger "emulated transistors", then build those up, and eventually have a single transistor (well, virtualized, emulated, call it by whatever term you want!) that can handle a ton of power...
