10 gauge power cord. Too much power for tube amp?

Tube amplifiers tend to be sensitive on incoming voltages. Is there a chance a bigger gauge power cord like 10 gauge may not be a good thing?

My amplifier tends to shut down occasionally upon start up. maybe moving to a higher gauge might be better. Does it matter?

In every case… for instance in installing direct lines, and power cords, larger gauge has produced better sound quality. Also, @mulveling +1 Amplifier shutting down is going to be caused or enabled by some issue not related to the gauge of power transmission.
