what is dynamic headroom?

what is dynamic headroom and do i need to worry about it? i am purchasing a used B&K st-3140 amp and after looking at the specs, it has the lowest dynamic headroom of any B&K amp at 1.0dB. how does this affect sound? same thing with dampening factor? the B&K's is 100. what does this mean?

wow! thanks for all the great responses. i love this site! the B&K's dampening factor is 100 at 50Hz. that's all the info that the specs give, but it looks like i do not need to worry with the specs and see how she sounds.....
thanks,
