I don't think anyone is saying that. We are talking about the 1.75 dB
difference or so between 1KW and 1.5KW. The power difference between 100
W and 1000W IS a big difference.
However, power isn't everything. If I can hit a DX station on 100 Watts
and he hears me 10 dB over 9, then running 1 KW ain't gonna do too much
except possibly IM his receiver's front end!
