If you then need max. power for instance, stuffing the levers to the stop will give you max. power available for the day based on local temperature.

However, one probably ought not to do that unless

(a) one, preflight, had checked the max thrust min speed schedule

(b) one was operating to a speed schedule somewhat in excess of (a)

(c) if (a) and (b) are satisfied, one advanced the throttles steadily but not (too) rapidly. Dynamic handling problems in an already high stress/workload situation might just be the straw which breaks the camel's back.

I have been involved with one accident investigation where the above, in analogy, was not observed and the outcome, shall we say, was somewhat less than ideal.
