A good welder should be able to help you.  They usually have saws,  grinders 
and other equipment available--in addition to flame--to un-weld  things.  Be 
sure to tell them what the contents are and how much heat they  can withstand.  
(Although the contents have already been exposed to heat if  the box was 
welded shut.)  In the words of my favorite welder, "Anything  that's been welded 
can be unwelded."
