if you are talking about a 20a plug/receptacle/power point (honestly im lost might be a translation thing there) then it will be irrelevant.
your circuit breaker size is to suit your cable size. Circuit breakers by design and purpose are to protect the wiring only.
so if you have a 16 amp circuit breaker you can put whatever you want on the other end it will still trip when you hit 16 amps either way.
so, if my circuit breaker has a 16A breaker, a 20A receptacle is not useful as if power exceeds 16A, the circuit breaker will trip, right?
Correct. Who needs 20 amps for their audio equipent nyway! 20 amps of curent is 4600 watts. You definitely dont draw that much!
