If the load normally draws 20 watts at 115 volts, it will only draw about 7 watts at 68 volts output which is about all you are going to get using that transformer.
Doesn't sound plausible at first sight. What's CD4047 Vdd?Also the output pin 10, 11 is giving only voltage less than 5 V. But I am giving a 12 V supply.
What I am asking is, what power the above circuit can deliver(10W, 20 W or whatever). .
The Vdd range as per datasheet is 0.5 to 20V. So if I am supplying 12V Vdd my output should be at least more than 10V at the pins 10 and 11. Unfortunately its 4.8 V.Doesn't sound plausible at first sight. What's CD4047 Vdd?
The gate of a Mosfet is not a load at the low frequency of an inverter. The datasheet of the CD4047 shows that its outputs swing the entire supply voltage when it has no load. What is wrong with your circuit?
I calculate the supply voltage for the CD4047 to be +8.7V which is what its output voltage swing should be.
Back to basics: How are you measuring the voltage on pins 10 and 11 ???
It isn't a steady voltage, it will (should!) be a near square wave which has an average voltage of only 50% of maximum. If you are measuring it on a DVM or moving coil meter you WILL get a wrong measurement and the chances are your reading will be about half of what it really is.
There is also a missing component in the design, it should have a capacitor across VDD and VSS of the IC for it to function properly. I suggest 10uF directly across pins 14 and 7.
Regarding output power, the theoretical maximum, ignoring the problems already mentioned is about 18W. In practice, if the problems are resolved, I would guess around 10W should be achievable.

As part of learning, may I know how you calculated the power delivered as 18W.
