How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?

I'm not here to debate break-in. I generally leave new amps, components, and new cables playing low volume for a for long periods to start the break in process. Just curious how much does volume play a role in breaking in such. I get that speakers probably need pretty good amounts to push drivers, but what about other components?

How many watts through speaker cables normally? How many watts through interconnects?

These 10’ts clipped the 150 watt Mac.

 I have never had meters on my amps and my rooms have changed in the past 6 years three times from average to above average to smallish where I am now. My guitar amps are 22 and 18 watts  I can play pretty big places with 22 watts... I haven’t had the system running correctly for a couple years now. My cables are new and three years old... 

As far as interconnects go I dont know the watts thru them. Never thought about it.
