Watts, Speaker & Amps.

A simple question:

Based on the Wattage rating on your amp and your speakers, is it possible to determine whether or not your speakers are at risk of damage?

For instance, My amp is 70 watts per channel(Marantz 2270). My speakers are 50 Watts (ADS L420). I listen to my system at a moderate level, and sometimes i like to kick it up a bit.
Can anyone appease my concern that I am at risk of doing damage without really cranking it, but just because the amp has a higher output? Thanks.
