I'm a code monkey ... I don't know these things ...

Is anyone aware of any guidelines as far as what kind of hardware (boxes in
the web farm, sql server machines, etc) is required for a given amount of
throughput?

There is no guideline for deciding your server configuration in abstract for
'a given amount of throughput'. If possible, collect some performance stats
with your real app in whatever environment it may be in, and use that as the
starting point.
