The pump pressure ins't particularly important by itself. It is pressure times volume that provides the power. A high pressure pump means that you can use a smaller diameter piston to deliver the same amount of work, but the pressure rating of all the components has to match. Using a pump that exceeds the pressure limits of the other components is counter productive.
