Sonic benefits to limiting the output of a preamplifier?

Question:

I have a Boulder Preamp (1110) that allows me (as I understand it) to set the maximum output. I typically listen with the setting between -40 and -50 db. If I chose to use this feature, what would a reasonable upper limit be? Maybe 20 db higher? Any thoughts?
