How much power is too much for a Quad 988?


Just bought a very nice pair of Quad 988s kind of on impulse and was quite surprised how nice they sound. Having said that, I have a PS Audio GCC250 and I am afraid even though I am very careful about volume levels in general these days am I flirting with disaster.
Question would come down to: since my amp is double plus the recommended 100watt/10V? output, am I just asking for trouble with this amount of power running through them ?

Gentlemen ,

Your replies and counsel have encouraged me and I have downloaded a free Iphone SPL meter program and will self police myself and keep things at 89 db or less.
I was kind of hoping someone would encourage (enable) me to shop for a new Quad friendly amp, LOL

I guess I am more neurotic than I first thought. Keep the advice and tips coming. I don't listen to too much rock, maybe the occasional 70's British "Prog " stuff like Gentle Giant but again at more apartment like levels.
These speakers may help me save my hearing from further damage, who knows? Thanks again to all who offered their 2 cents and more.I really do appreciate it. Now what kind of subs do I need? hmmmmmm?
