In 'Theory' a High current amp is an amp that is capable of delivering significantly "higher" current than standard design practices would dictate. For example a 'typical 100 watt amp would produce 28.5 volts at ~9 amp into a fixed 8 ohm load, and a 'high current amp' might do the same but be capable of delivering 11 amps.
THe discussion, as noted very well above is somewhat specious, as the current draw will be different from the current capacity, and you don't really want to see full current via a dead short, which may lead to a dead amp.
Tube amps are current limited by the output transformer [ OTL amps by the circuit]. Most of the "high-current" designs are Solid State, and are either (as mentioned above) down-rated amps, or amps with abnormally oversized power supplies; either way unless your speaker wants it, the amp won't deliver it, irrespective of the MFG claims.
Try an amp that sounds good - to you!- and that you can afford.
Happy listening
