Does exists a 100W charge capability thunderbolt 3 monitor?

Hello World

the question is simple : I have a 16 MacBook Pro with a original 96W power supply.

Thunderbolt 3 specifications for power supply capabilities say about a 100W limit.

But - NOW - I can't find any monitor (LG, SAMSUNG, DELL, ASUS, BENQ...) that arrive at this power.

In fact in many forums people confirm that only the original power supply are able to charge the laptop constantly in every possible stress situations (cpu, ssd or gpu). The monitors, also LG 4K and 5K from Apple store, aren't able to ensure charging while connected only with usb-c cable provided in box.

I'd like to hear the authoritative opinion of Apple technicians and engineers on this topic.

Thanks a lot
