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.

Both higher wattage and lower wattage with respective lower and higher sensitivity speaker combinations each render unique sonic results. Just as both tube and solid state (or then combination thereof) extend that further.

Maybe a closer focus and discussion over quality power supplies and current delivery would be more relevant than this endless sensitivity argument.
