The short answer is, a 15 amp outlet is rated to safely allow 15 amps to pass. A 20 amp outlet is rated to safely allow 20 amps to pass. The rules and testing procedures are set fourth by Underwriters Lab. You would have difficulty purchasing a product that did not pass this standard, at least inside the USA.
When you begin to talk about outlets beyond the importance of their amp rating, there are differences and some are more important than others . Most would agree that commercial and hospital grade outlets, rated to provide heaver clamping mechanisms, are important to the connection quality and longevity.
This makes sense, particularly if you purchase an aftermarket power cord equipped with a male hospital grade connector. Then there is a "match" in quality, construction materials and grade, providing better connectivity for your equipment power supply.
The importance of this has been widely discussed at Audiogon, and If you are brave you may search any number of threads on the subject. Just look for discussions on outlets, power cables, dedicated lines.
You may rest assured that the quality of your PS outlet is among the best and you need not worry that it is restricting to the degree that your equipment clips.
