A good strobe is not necessarily with much power - I'd say that for home studio you only need 250 w/s. However, the power defines the recycling time (the time necessary for the strobe to recharge). At max power it takes more time. My strobes are 300 w/s and their recycling time at full power is about 2.5 - 3 seconds. This is good enough for home studio I think, even though sometimes I miss "the shot".
