That isn't entirely true. It depends.
Too little power may result in the amp producing excessive distortion or even clipping, which results in excessive high frequency content, which can result in overheating the voice coil, especially HF drivers.
On the other hand, "too much" power allows the amp to pass the signal more-or-less faithfully, and if the speakers are played near their output limit and the signal contains significant peaks in the waveform (which is often the case when a recording has little or no peak limiting), a peak may cause the driver suspension or voice coil leads to move farther than it can, and break. This can be a problem with "audiophile recordings" when the listener wants to "crank it up".
