How much amplifier power do you really need?

ETA: according to the relevant page in the Audacity manual, this is an amplitude spectrum.

Incidentally Audacity says that the track has full scale (0dBFS) samples and the RMS value is about -13 dB, which I believe means a crest factor of 13 dB.  The waveform diagram shows the samples in dark blue and the RMS value in light blue:



At the risk of stating the obvious, it's worth pointing out that this is not the exact same audio the guys in the video were actually playing (unless they've also invented time travel); presumably they were using an original, uncompressed version of the track.
I am completely new to Audacity, I have just downloaded a copy this morning.  So I have not yet worked out the significance of the various parameters and similar.  However, I did manage to get this from the native Laptev Sea track:
