As Grumpy said, from a sheer SPL standpoint, 150 watts is plenty, but... I used an 80 watt amp with the 96dB sensitive DD66000s and it did not sound nearly as controlled as the 400 wpc Parasound Halo JC-1s I stepped up to. I doubt I ever used more than 10-15 watts on those speakers when I drove them crazy loud, but having the massive dual mono power supplies made a difference, or at least contributed to a big difference.

Could this come down to damping factor?
