The claim that you really do not need that much amplifier power and that low power amplifiers somehow let you listen deeper into the music is one of those audiophool myths. I just found back the link to the Harbeth video of a demonstration some years ago of their M40.1 flagship speaker in the Netherlands: https://www.harbeth.co.uk/library/movies_hug/HAL-HV0515-01a_Power.mov
The monoblocks that were used had peak power meters, and on highly dynamic music these registered peak power output of more than 700 watts per channel. Conversely, at the same loudness but with some Corelli chamber music the maximum was only 28 watts.
