Yes because you have “rms” power which is your continuous power rating. Then you have “peak” power rating, or dynamic, which is the max it hits on bursts. So your Sansui probably had more peak power than some other amps which had similar rms ratings. That’s also how some companies try to fool you by advertising their peak power instead of the rms power. This tricks people into thinking it’s stronger than it really is. But you want to match your speakers to the rms power, but it’s good to have good peak power when neededGreat point. Makes me think of an old but very well built Sansui amp I have for my house. It's rated at 120 watts rms but has a ton of power in reserve up to 300 watts for short bursts. It is a fantastic and very musical sounding amp. I've heard other amps with 125 watts rms but sound like they are straining.
