OK, but again, it's multiplication that counts, not differences (in linear values). Think of it in terms of decibels, for which the formula is 20 log V1/V0 (for voltage) or 10 log P1/P0 (for power). It makes no difference how much gain the amp has, as long as it is operating in its linear region, multiplying the input signal by 10 will multiply the output signal by 10. (And I assume you probably meant Volts not watts.)
