No No Rehaan,

JKD has pointed out the PRE-amplifier output in peak to peak voltage. No pre amp components produces heat (rather needs to)
Don't confuse the Power output (measured in WATTS) with the pre amplifier output (Measured in AC VOLTS peak to peak)

It's odd for a company to state the Pre Amp output @60 ohms.
Generally the input impedance for most amplifiers is about/around 20000 ohms. So for example is you connected two amplifiers on the same set of RCA outs you would effectively have an input impedance of about 10000 ohms.
It would be near impossible to find any electronic device (eq, DSP, amp, processor etc) that had an input impedance of 60 ohms.
That's why Navin found it strange.
