Выражение встречается в следующем контексте:

line amplifiers provide the bulk of the power output requirements, with a staggering 76 channels covering the extremely complex zone requirements.
что здесь имеется в виду? Просто ли разнесены эти 76 каналов или разнесены в шахматном порядке?

sorry, no "of" required

a staggering 76 channels
a staggering 586 cars
a staggering £16 bn spent on gifts

grammatically, the word combination after "staggering" is treated as a noun, hence the indefinite article before "staggering"

meaning, there's so many it knocks you off
