RE: power transistor mounting kit and heat sink sizing

The Sankens are a T03 mounting, so you will want to start with those measurements for the lead and mounting points.
As to the sizing, that can get tricky: thermal coefficient of the insulation under the device, radiating surface area of the heatsink, airflow around the heat sink, etc...
Or, as indicated above, bigger = better

There have been some clever installations over the years with showing off the heatsinks (Pass Labs Aleph) or Hiding the heatsinks (luxman, McIntosh)
Your choice
