Yes, I understood that.
Clearly from the rest of the discussion I have not made myself understood. I'll make one more attempt, reducing it to two points:
1) There is a consensus among people who make their living from critical listening, about how loud recordings are played.
2) Historically the headroom used by recordings has exhibited a well known and consistent limit.
Given these two observations, the maximum sound power required from a loudspeaker can be calculated. It is of course only meaningful under the assumptions that you are listening to historically typical recordings and are listening at the consensus preferred level.
I am perfectly well aware that concert hall levels can be higher that the preferred studio listening levels; in the case of rock concerts they can be much, much higher. That has no effect on the first point above, according to the published scientific literature.
I am also perfectly well aware that one can make recordings with much greater headroom than that described in my second point. That fact has no effect on the second point, and in fact I see very little evidence that the greatly increased modern capability is used to increase the headroom on commercially available recordings. Like many, I am saddened by that fact, but - again - it does not change the fact.
