Default Maximum wire length is a function of... what?

I have read more than one article where the recommended maximum length
of loudspeaker wire is presented as a function of the wire gauge and
the impedance of the speakers, e.g. in the Wikipedia article

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speaker_wire#Wire_gauge

I have also heard that output power and damping factor should be
considered as well - a high power amplifier needs a thicker cable.

Are there any studies made about the wire length contra output power and
damping factor?
