As above, 0dB (in theory) is the maximum output of the receiver at it's rated power & distortion specs. But speaker efficiency will change the actual real-world 'loudness'.

Depending upon the receiver & the source & the loudspeakers & the air volume of the room, straying above 0dB could damage the speaker. Or not . . .
