I think it depends on the mirror area. The more mirrors, the more power. The more power, the higher the temperature will be.

Anyway, tungsten melts at 3422°C, I don't know if it's feasible.

Imagine we built a giant concentrator in space so we can melt tungsten without having to worry about containment!
