Trusting that the OP has his answer by now, I thought I'd offer some alternate nomenclature for the Thrust Levers that I've heard over the years:
Go sticks
BFK's (Big F___ Knobs)
Back Slap Adjusters
Noise Selectors
Volume Knobs
Loud Makers
Sizzle Sticks
Singer Sticks
Gas Givers
Punch Pickers
Power Poles
Grunt Givers
Any more I might have missed?
