200 AMP circuit breaker box. How do I determine how many amps each switch in the box is wired for?

I need to know the amount of amps each of the receptacles can carry for electric heater purposes. My circuit breaker box says 200 AMPS on the main kill switch, and each of the two rows of switches has tiny numbers on them which don’t seen to indicate how many amps each socket or switch can safely carry. Is there a way to find out? My wall receptacle becomes pretty warm when running 1500 W and I am concerned about fire. Can you help me? Thanks!

Each breaker should have the rating number on them or written in the panel door. 20 for 20amp
