full blast
At peak intensity
Full blast means at maximum power, volume, or intensity.
Originally referring to furnaces and engines operating at peak capacity, it now applies to anything running at its highest level: The air conditioning was going full blast, We had the music on full blast.
The phrase suggests enthusiastic excess rather than mere functionality.
