150 watt amp head louder than 100 watt combo amp?

I am thinking of getting a larger amp for doing shows. I plan on getting a 150 watt mustang amp head and then a cabinet at a later time. I already have a mustang 1 amp and really love it. What I was wondering was the 150 watt amp head really 150 watts? Does wattage mean the power its supplying to the cabinet? I'm not sure if thats true because the default cabinet with the mustang is 4 50 watt speakers.

Now why would someone buy a 100 watt mustang combo if they have 150 watt amp head at the same price?

Surely there must be something im missing.
