I think the theory is that at 0dB the amplifier is running at full power without clipping on typical material. In practice, I assume manufacturers started fudging the numbers within a week so they are probably meaningless now, but the idea is that 0dB is "full throttle" and more negative numbers indicate how much below WFO the amplifier is running.
