What’s the relationship between gain (dB) and power (watts)?


Is there one?  My new used 300+ epic Bryston amp has a gain switch on the back toggling between 23 and 29 dB of gain.

So damn complicated. To me it's just balancing gain and power and finding the best combination of two distortion.  
 

Good to know a higher gain means higher voltage is being used.  So if you have higher voltage it's going to require less amplification.

So damn complicated hope I got it right
