Out of pure curiosity - could someone explain how an underpowered amp/receiver being overdriven damage a speaker that can handle more than what the receiver can output?

I mean - if its output a certain 'sound' can't this sound be replicated to damage a speaker anyway? Maybe I'm looking at it wrong  ???
