Depends on the load of the oven. More than likely it will require AWG #6 but you need to read the electrical requirements for that particular oven.

If you have a 125 amp breaker box on the pole with a 125 amp breaker going to your house and you get a hot tub that needs a 60 amp GFI breaker would that overload the box?
It depends on what else you are running in the house. Add up your amperage to see if it is more than the 125amp rating. Which should be below 105 amps constant to keep from overheating the main breaker. If you are not running a big central ac system or a electric oven and water heater you should have no problem running the hot tub.
Can 3.55 watt oven run on 20amp hard wire?
To answer this question the voltage of the oven must be stated. Also double check on the wattage of the oven 3.55 watts seems low. Maybe it should be 3.55 kWs. Amps = Watts/Volts.

What size breaker should be used for a double oven?
50 amp breaker wired with AWG # 6 wire.
What size breaker should be used for a 3.6 kW oven?
3000 / 240 = Amps. You de-rate a breaker by 20 % for continuous load like an oven. You could get by with a 20 Amp breaker and 12 AWG wire. However, I would recommend 30 Amps and 10 AWG for an oven for the long run.

A wall oven requires a booster transformer to make it heat up and it has been suggested that this be installed in a bedroom closet next to the electrical box but are there any dangers?
This is just a guess, but it sounds like the person fitting the oven does not want to have a new 240 Volt circuit installed to supply the oven and plans to use an existing 120 Volt wall outlet using a 120-to-240 Volt step-up transformer. To conform to the latest Wiring Codes, a wall oven usually has to have its own dedicated circuit with correctly sized breakers, wiring and outlet. The circuit should be designed to supply whatever voltage and current the wall oven requires without using any separate transformer. Are you are having the wall oven installed by a licensed electrician or by a kitchen fitter? If you are not sure if the person who is talking about using a transformer is actually a licensed electrician who is following the Wiring Codes for your locality (Town/State) then the best advice anyone should give you is to refuse to have any electrical work done for your wall oven until you have had a second opinion from an independent licensed electrician or electrical engineer.
