Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes?

Dear Friends,
The general amp advice for the speakers 92+ db sensitivity speakers are mostly low power amps and mainly set or pp tube devices. I wonder if you have any experience with a setup of high sensitivity speaker with 100+ watt amplifier. 
My speaker is va sarastro 2 and at the moment driving it with accuphase a60 power amp. I've an opportunuty to buy Arc Gs150 amp with a good deal.
thanks for your comments

+1 - Agree with Trelja and Noromance

From my 35+ years experience in this hobby, power corrupts, and have your ever really heard how loud 1 watt/channel can get?  We only have 1 set of ears and I like mine to last as long as possible.  A lesson I was taught many years ago by a stereo shop owner who was tone deaf but built the most amazing sounding speakers.
