I think you may have wanted to post this question in the heating-air-conditioning forum (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/heating-air-conditioning/) If I had the power to move you over there, I would.
Just leave it here for now, and I'll notify one of the mods to help you.

Meanwhile there is a chart at the bottom of this page that may help you:

Edit:
Contacted mod, help is on the way.

The normal recommendation is to use the boiler manufactures recommendations since boiler volume and size play a part is sizing.
