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.

Oh, I got this amp ,yesterday afetrnoon, so I’m not fully familiar with its characteristics, yet.
 I will say the highs sparkle and there is plenty of solid bottom at my neighbors' non-disturbing level.
Gabriel and Genesis sounded great as did Caravan, Gong and Enya.
Going to try Cusco and Weather Report. today.

I don’t have the scratch to be an ultra-high end user like most of you appear to be, but just received a Musical Paradise MK III. Rated at 6.5 w/ch.
Using B&W DM 630’s. Cost: $360 for the integrated tube amp from a previous one-owner.
At 12 o’clock, that thing could blow out your eardrums. No distortion detected.
Not going to try, either.
