Xupakabras,
Arthur [Aball ] is correct above.
The volume control is NOT a power control - it's a GAIN
control.
An amp like your Krell can both be more powerful but have
less gain than an other. As I recall, Krells have a gain
of about 25 dB. There are other, less powerful amps that
have gains over 30 dB. All this means is that you have to
put a larger signal into the Krell in order to get it to
put out the power that it is capable of.
As Arthur states - the absolute position of the volume
control is MEANINGLESS - don't worry about it.
Just crank up the control until the Krell is delivering a
reasonable volume level.
