Can't put a figure on it now, my memory is getting on a bit! But it sure made that much difference it was very noticeable on the quarterly bill.
The QNAP runs at most 20w with 3 disks, and 11w when it's in sleep mode.
However the HP Server was loaded with 6 disks and a 500w PSU. Granted it was never in sleep mode as it did slightly different things over the NAS, e.g. backed up all WHS clients on every login.
So not quite a true comparison.

WHS can easily run on a machine that uses less power than a VM Superhub.

As always, I can't argue with that
