Hello Everyone, can anyone point me in the right direcction on how I
can calculate the maximum power a filter network can manage with certain
SMT components? thank you.

Most circuit simulators
allow you to measure power dissipation in each component - even reactive
components when you have s-parameter files or enter a Q value. Once
you have the output measurements set up, crank up input power until
the max power dissipation is reached in any component.
For capacitors,
also monitor the voltage drop across it to not excede the working voltage
and for inductors, do not excede the max current. No one said it would
be easy. :-D
Keep in mind that the power dissipation will be
denendent on the VSWR at each port.
