It is an amp that has more power, but not only more power, more current/amps. A high current amp is one that gets close to, or doubles in power output as resistance doubles. This produces a constant/consistent voltage and takes better command and control of the driver cone, making it move more precisely. With plenty of power to spare ABOVE its normal operating range, - it is not taxed and that translates to what you hear, a more relaxed character.

Where people had paid to see inside,
For entertainment they watch his body twist
Behind his eyes he says, 'I still exist.'"
