You can't do any damage with a PSU that outputs more wattage than the existing one.
Don't confuse watts with volts. Too much voltage will kill components. Watts is a different matter altogether.
Regardless of wattage, every PSU has the same universal 5-volt and 12-volt output cables for the motherboard & components.

Wattage is merely a measure of capacity - - the maximum wattage that the PSU is capable of supplying.
Your system will draw whatever wattage each component demands in total.
