I would venture that EVERY listener will push their speakers well beyond 88dB peaks - infact I would say that every listener here will push there system well over 100dB. Especially with high quality signals.
Now granted it is very hard to find recorded sources that hold a 15dB or greater crest factor (Peak to RMS Ratio) and they have been produced. A lot of popular recordings may only have a very unrealistic 8-10dB greast factor.
But as you can see from my measurements even my mild simulation had 18dB crest factor.
