Kinda homely looking, anyone know what chassis this is?

I notice it has the newer RCA logo. If this is a tube set, it probably has a CTC38 or 39 chassis in it. If it's solid state, probably a CTC40, 44, or 46. I once worked on a combo unit that had the upright CTC46 XL-100 style chassis in it.

At 360W it has to be a tube set.

Agreeing with Andy, it's probably a 39 (last tube set.) With that style of control door, it could be anything from a 39 to a 44 or even a modular 46, but the wattage shouldn't be that high. I don't think it's a 40, because I've never seen one with that pull-out control tray. The 40 was a power hog, and still had the full-size power transformer. I suppose that if it's rated with the stereo, TV, phono, and with remote motors all added up, a 40 could suck that much power.
