More power allows you to hear more of the instruments at lower volumes (e.g. sound floor).
I have Martin Logan Spires which are nominally 4Ω, but can draw down to 1Ω on some loads. Yeah, they've been known to blow up underpowered amps.
I drive them with a pair of 900 W monoblocks (4Ω), fed by a tubed (6SN7) preamp. I also have tube monoblocks that put out 75 W.
When listening with the tube amps, the sound floor doesn't reach as low as with the s/s amps.
