Sorry, but that statement is not "politically" correct. If you don't have enough power to reproduced music peaks faithfully, then nothing else matter because distortion (mainly clipping) will be introduced into the system...which we can't get rid of.

Having ample power in a system is like having a good foundation for a house. You will need a solid foundation to build on, or the house will come crumbling down at the first sign of weather disaster a.k.a. music clipping
