Gecko drives is a N.A. designer and supplier of stepper motor drives.
Here is an excerpt from their support column.

"It is recommended the motor current always be set at the rated value . Setting the current higher degrades the linearity of the motor and also causes microstep bunching and attendant low-speed vibration.
What comes with the increased motor power with increased power supply voltage is increased motor heating; this heating increases more rapidly than output power and ultimately sets the maximum output power from the motor. That is to say, the limiting factor in how much power a motor can deliver is ultimately determined by how much heat it can safely dissipate. "
