A speaker having a sensitivity of, for example, 93 dB@1 watt 1 meter will play louder with the same amount of power than a speaker with, for example, 87 dB@ 1 watt 1 metre sensitivity. An increase of 3dB is the equivalent of feeding it twice the power.
And power vs perceived volume isn't linear. You need to feed a speaker 10 times the power in order for it to be perceived as twice the volume.
