No there is no sizing for gas fires.
I would just go for the biggest output and looks for your type of flue.
The only thing to remember is any appliance over 7Kw gross input will require a separate air vent so I would advise picking a fire under that.

and make sure it will fit your fireplace and work on your flue system.

And if its flueless, check the size of the room its going in....

If it is flueless, I would not bother fitting it. I would invest in a box of candles and place a few on top of the fireplace.
Will look better, produce more heat and be a lot safer. Will also save you the hassle of putting in ventilation.
