I think it could be possible, but....

That would depend on what someone "might" consider power feeding.

I'm sure everyone has different ways and amounts they feel is a normal feeding. Some will feed a meal that leave little or no lump in their snake. Others will feed the most they feel their snake can handle at each feeding.

Here's an example of how I feed. I don't consider how I feed my boas power feeding.

In the beginning I'll feed my boas 1 pinky rat every 4 days. I'll do this for up to 10 feeding or until their second shed. Once they've had their second shed I'll space their feedings out to every 7 days. I also increase their food size to 1 fuzzy rat(10 day old rats). I continue this size of food until their third shed. Normally they can take larger, but I like to keep their food on the smaller side. Normally they don't need an increase of food size after the third shed, but a few of them might need 2 food items. After the 4th shed I'll increase the size of food again. Normally they can take weaned rats at this time, but I don't go quite that large. I'll give mine 3 week old rats pups. I'll give them 2 at a feeding at this point. I've also changed them to every 10 days. Every time my boas shed I determine if they need their food increased. Sometimes they do and sometimes they don't. By the time they're 4 feet they're only getting 1 large rat every 10 days. By the time they're 5 feet they're getting the maximum amount of food they'll ever get. That amount is "2 large rats" every 10 days. My boas have never and will never eat any amount larger than that. They just don't need that much food. On average it takes my boas around 3 years to reach 6 feet. They're well muscled and heavy.
