If I'm understanding your question, you're saying the less powerful amp isn't closer to its rated output than a more powerful amp at the same output?
And why do you think the manufacturer gives such rated output, again that's where it's specs are the best. The manufacturer gets to claim what the stated output is, then attach the specs at the output "they've" chosen. Or are you claiming a manufacturer would knowingly choose to rate it's amplifier at a rating where the amps specs would be inferior? Then attach "those" specs? ROFLMAO
What I think is that you are being intentionally obtuse. The manufacturer does not get to claim any output rating. The FTC specifies that calculation, at least for amps sold in the U.S. Generally, distortion levels are lower at lower output.
It is apparent that you will not, or cannot, explain your claim that the lower-rated amp is delivering more power than the higher-rated amp at a given level of speaker ouput. Of course it is not. A 300 watt amp will be delivering the same power as a 30 watt amp at equal output from the speakers (unless, of course, the lower powered amp is clipping - which is more likely to be the case than for the 300 watt amp, since the 30 watt amp is, by definition, operating more closely to its rated output; that is, the output at which it begins to clip).
