I assume all the red wires are 24v and the blues are ground? If so, then loosely judging by the number (8?) and gauge of the wires, I'd say each wire is good for ~2A, which is around 16A, maybe a bit more.

What you could do is monitor the output with a voltmeter while steadily loading down the supply with resistors or something until it shuts down from over-current. Then a little math to figure out the shut-down current, and then subtract ~10% as the "working" current.
