That joker would be my ears. And that difference is most noticeable at lower volumes.
I can try to explain (to myself as well as anyone else here) why there is a difference but I'm not sure how accurate that would be. Let's just give it a try:
Say you want to travel on the freeway at 100 kilometres per hour. You probably only 'need' 50 horse power in your car to achieve that. But if you had a nice 6 litre V8 you're going to be doing that 100 kilometres per hour a lot more quietly than with the little 50 horse power car. A more powerful amp might sound more 'relaxed' at any give volume.
Below is a link to a video John Darko made at HEDD Speakers> Klaus Heinz explains how he can't technically measure dynamic capabilities of a speaker @ 22 minutes in. It might be the answer to the question.
