You would need to connect a small transmitter power amplifier to have the power needed to damage components in the tuner.
The maximum power output of a preamp or distribution amplifier is going to be in the milli-watt range... (thousands of a watt) not single or double digit watts of a transmitting devise.
If you have a situation that truly calls for pre-amplification of weak signals while strong signals are present, you may need to use a very directional antenna and possibly, a pre-selection filter that passes only the weak signal bandwidth. This could mean that you use one antenna for local strong signals and a dedicated antenna for the weak signal. (The TVFR posted in your first thread does not suggest you need to go to these lengths.)
If the TVFR in your fist thread is representative of this scenario, the recommendation made by teleview, that included a CPA-19 preamp, would do well and your tuner would be at no risk of damage due to preamp power output.
