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.

Gain is how much it's going to amplify the incoming signal. Less gain is usually quieter but if you have low gain signal going in, you may need more amplification to reach peak power.
