Gain for HO MC or MM cartridge?


How much gain are users of high output MC or MM, or MI cartridges using? Is 40-50DB gain from the phonostage to much for cartridges ranging from 2.5 to 5.0 output? Personal experiences would be great.
Thank you.

Thanks everyone. Phono has a minimum gain of 42db and preamp adds 17db gain. cartridge is a Grado ref. 1, which I see advertised at either 4.0 or 5.0 output. Guess it will be fine.
