Absolutely. Currently volume 70 corresponds to 0dB attenuation. Assuming a simple direct proportional rule, and since the white peaks at 99dBA SPL while the silver peaks at 105 dBASPL, I would think that if you are listening on a silver below a volume setup of 64 (-6 dB) and up to 0 on a white, you should hear absolutely no difference between the two. And yes this is an exponential need: you need 4 times the power to go from 99 to 105 dB.
I would also tend to experience (since 107 dB is about the peak capacity of my system D120 + 88dB speakers) is that I'm listening between -12 dB and 0 dB on classical music and Jazz but more around -20 dB to -15 dB on the rest and this is quite representative of the DR difference. So I would tend to think that for classical or jazz music a silver would be more needed than if you are mostly listening to music with a lower DR.
