Like most dealers, this one would like to make a big sale, but advising to buy a $75k amp is probably not the best advice. Such an amp might be marginally superior to a $15k amp, but one would be spending a premium of 60,000 to possibly get a small improvement.
More power or wattage is generally better than less, because of the dynamic swings in various types of music. A drum beat may need 15 db of extra volume to be adequately represented at the listening position, which translates to 5 times the wattage level. So if one's amp is running at 5 watts, then 160 watts will be needed, and more if the speakers have an impedance dip at the specific frequency.
I've run 100 watt speakers with 300 watt amps with no problem. But you have to determine not to go past a safe volume or else over drive the speakers. As others have said, it's easier to damage speakers by under powering them.
For most situations, 300 watts is plenty. But the speakers in question may be able to handle far more. Going a hundred or 2 above their power rating would be safe for the most part.
