on transients the average power will be far lower than the maximum power. An overdriven guitar is heavily compressed by comparison so the average power can then be much higher even if the power stage isn’t clipping.
Something more like a PA speaker with a preamp is a keyboard amp - they have to handle sustained power across a wide frequency range - like an organ sound or a strings pad. They tend to be a lot bigger and heavier, and with much less useful controls for guitars, but they do usually sound quite good for both acoustic and electric guitar.
