Is there a such too much power for speakers?

How do I know the amp I’m looking to buy is beautifully enough power for my speakers?
what will happen when the power amp is (way) over or too much power for the speakers?
My Local dealer quoted, “there aren’t limits on power amp, (but my budget that is). The more, the better, they added”
Their suggested highest amplifications are in $75k range (my speakers are in $20k range)
Please help.

Not sure if I posted this,
but years back, mid 90’s I think?

 I had a nice pair of altec Lansing m508’s, powered by carvin dcm 2000 amps in bridge mono bloc version.

i was sending enough watts to make those speakers sing.
  Always careful of the volume, but the effortless, and very airy, sound was great.

the amps were great, but not reliable, so I gave them to my cousin 
  
 More watts=better

Higher watt amps sound better, more airy, effortless, no possible distortion due to never clipping, but u need to keep volume knob in check is all.
