My stove is pulling 32-34 amps when in full use what would be a good size breaker for this appliance.

The minimum range circuit allowed by code is 40 amp circuit with #8 copper wire.

I have always used a 50 amp on my stoves, but as tkrussell noted you have to be sure that the wiring is able to handle that amp rating
