Yes there is stronger steel out there but A36 is pretty common even here in Canada and you'll also have a hard time finding 1-1/4 in anything cold rolled, likely it will be hot rolled and at best A-36. Plus $20 says they have no idea what steel it is so for me to assume it's the strongest available would be pretty foolish. Anything you get from a local hardware store isn't anything special. Like I said before, without getting into too much detail that's what I came up with, take it for what it's worth to you.
