Nothing odd about that. It's (max) 12V into 50 Ohm, (max) 120V unloaded.
Many generators have an output impedance of 50 Ohm. Output voltage halves when loaded by 50 Ohm, compared to open-ended. Faster ones are spec'ed at 50 Ohm load.
The high-amplitude output of the PG506 reaches > 100V open-ended and about 5 .. 6V into 50 Ohm, if I remember well.
The high-amplitude output of the PG506, and apparently, the Type 106, may be used with Tek's tunnel diode pulser, as Eric describes.
