Even if you could output a true square wave whilst trying to deliver a sine, you'd not even get to 50% distortion.
There is all sorts of things that deliver distortion around max power. Grid current discharging coupling caps, or for stages capable of delivering power, the radical change in load when the grid goes positive.
