The only time I have ever experienced overwhelming in your chest type bass with music was with a vintage pair of CV bookshelf speakers coupled with a passive 10" CV sub.

ZZ Top was enough to almost make you feel sick sitting in your chair when played at ridiculous SPL's. Didn't take much amplifier either as they were super efficient. However, not an accurate speaker.
