Why do speakers improve with more powerful amps?


So, if I have a solid state amp that more than adequately powers a speaker, why do people recommend a larger more powerful amplifier to improve things?

Why do more powerful amplifiers impact speaker sound quality in a favorable way? Is it because more power is reaching the speakers? Mid and Tweeter drivers I was told receive a reduced signal versus bass drivers which receive relatively more power via crossovers.  All for the purpose of balancing a signal going to the various drivers.

Through the years I've went from 80 watts, to 140, to 200, to 300 and now at 600 and 1000 Amps. (Legacy IV 2 and IV 5 Amps). At normal listening, like a movie at slightly spirited volumes there is a difference, although slight. TURN it up, like listening to a Video Concert, and there is no comparison. One sounds like a recording, and one sounds like your THERE!
