I'm very sorry Florin, but this is simply NOT true.
It is completely safe to use a 100 watt head (or less!) with a 1000 watt cab, assuming you don't send the head into clipping.
It's just like running a 500 watt head at low volume. Speakers don't require large amounts of cone movement for cooling.
Of course a cabinet will be at it's most efficient if you are using a head that produces clean power at something close to the cabinet's power rating, and of course Florin is right that ANY head that is sent into clipping will damage ANY cabinet.
But - it is not true that it is unsafe to use a lower power head with a higher rated cab as long as you refrain from clipping the head.
