Remember even 82 Db average is pretty loud and almost any speaker will put out that level at 1 meter with 1 watt. The problem is the occasional large peak like banging a big piano giving 30 Db peaks or more. Then your 20 watt amp is overloaded. But this is rare and good amps recover quickly and the overload is very short time wise.
Where some speakers sound 'powerful' even with small amps is when they are dynamically linear. Then up to the limits of the amp the system sounds bigger than less linear ones.
