I've been an audiophile for over 30 years. Well known psychoacoustic studies show that a change of 3db is just noticeable by most people and a change of 10db is perceived as twice as loud.
As far as the measurement being at rated load and if that constitutes wot, rated load is all that can be sustained over time.

Nobody is going to notice or care if it gets a couple db louder for the brief time it can hit max load.
