I don't think anything is being exceeded. I have no idea of the actual numbers. but the calculation is something like. using the 100 meter dish we need to transmit at 30 kilowatts to make sure the signal can be received by voyeger2.
voyeger2 high gain is 2 degrees off, (do some black magic RF math) we need to transmit at 60 kilowatts to make sure the signal is received. good thing this transmitter is capable of 5 megawatts of radiative power.
Now I just made up those numbers. but the cool thing about nasa is how open they are. both when things go wrong "whoops we misaligned voyeger 2" and with specs, it probably won't take me long at all to find actual numbers.

update: Found this page which is pretty cool.
