It's because you'll be listening slightly louder when using the high gain (even without meaning to). Only way to check would be to properly measure SPL on both high and low, and adjusting volume to match exactly before A/Bing.
My rule of thumb is to only use high gain if it's actually required (ie volume is insufficient without it).
The danger with increasing gain is that you're also increasing the noise floor / distortion.
