Unless it is dead flat, actual wattage is not the most important thing- its you watts per kilogram that is more important. A small light person like me can put out far less wattage than a big person and still be going just as fast.
Joel Friel is considered to be the guru of training with power - you should be able to find some good info in his materials - and a lot is available free online. Here's one resource http://www2.trainingbible.com/resources.aspx
Here's some watts/kilogram at LT numbers (you would have to do a VO2 to get this number, but you can get an idea from your TT - it will probably be around to a bit lower than your average wattage for the TT)
(sorry its all scrunched... tabs don't work in posts)
Women Men
USCF Category 4-5 2.5 to 3.0 3.0 to 3.5
USCF Category 2-3 3.0 to 3.5 4.0 to 4.5
US Domestic Pro 3.5 to 4. 4.5 to 5.0
Successful Pro Tour 4.0 to 4.5 5.0 to 5.5
(you should also take this table with a grain of salt... I think the numbers are probably a bit low)
