The point here being, NW, is that there "are" belligerent super loud drummers that actually are adversarial and it's nice to have that reserve power to bring to bear if needed, before you walk. It was kind of a joke actually, but in reality these guys are out there and I'm sure you have met a few and steer clear. Same thing with other superstar guitar players, and it turns into the battle of the loudest.

100 watts isn't a bad thing, even 30 watt players can be obnoxiously loud and no fun to play with.

I agree, no one likes to be drownded out and it's not fun.
