What’s the relationship between gain (dB) and power (watts)?

Is there one? My new used 300+ epic Bryston amp has a gain switch on the back toggling between 23 and 29 dB of gain.

If the driver has a strong foot, then the pedal is set to 23 to take into account the heavier push to get full power. However, a driver with a weaker foot will set the gas pedal to 29, making it easier to push for full power. The engine does not know the difference nor cares.
