One issue is the gain of the amp. The gain needs to match with the gain of the pre-amp and the efficiency of the speakers. If you have a high gain pre-amp and a high gain amp and high efficiency speakers, you may end up with the volume control being in the very beginning of its range, which can be a problem. If you are only using the lowest 10% of the volume control, you do not have much control.
Many traditional high power amps are class AB, which means they are class A in the low end of the range and class B at higher outputs. Many people find class A to have a better sound that class B. So, where the amps changes from class A to class B can be important. A high output amp may have more class A range, but that depends on the design of the amp.
One of the reasons for high power, is to coup with low efficiency speakers with difficult phase angles. With easy to drive speakers, the high power may be wasted. But also look at the current the amp provides. High power with no reserve does not help with difficult to drive speakers. An amp in that range should double down into 4 ohms and again to 2 ohms.
One disadvantage of high power is that it makes it much more possible to accidentally blow out your speakers.
So, yes their can be disadvantages to high power amps.
$75K for amps and $20K for speakers seems like a mismatch. I would suggest listening to some lower priced options also.
