[B-Greek] Hebrews 1:3; whose "word of power"?

Hi all,
I have been wondering what the textual considerations might be for 
determining whether the "word of power" in Hebrews 1:3 is refering to 
that of God or of the Son.

Based on traditional theology we might associate "his" with the 
subsequent  pronouns refering to Christ. However, the greek genitive 
autou would seem to parallel the references to the reflected glory and 
representation of God's nature, hence the "his" refer to that which 
belongs to God.

What do you all think?
Thanks, Richard
