Big enough so it'd need to carry a stamp in most states. The bottom line is that there's no way to tell how it was designed unless you can pump the manufacturer for details. The likelhood is that it's not a Code vessel, although it may have been designed with the Code in mind. As far as surge goes, there aren't any Section VIII specifics on what to do. If surge pressures are important, the 125 psi pressure on the tag probably took those into account, but they probably took a roll-your-own approach. You can probably take a WAG at what material was used and how it was welded and juggle back and forth to see if you think there's enough margin for what you suspect the surge pressures might be. After quizzing you all day, I really haven't been much help, but there's only so much to be done by e-mail.
