There are two issues here. A broadcast signal is narrowband. Something like a lightening strike is wideband, but is completely unpredictable. Antenna gain depends on the frequency of the signal and the direction to which it is pointed.

Having said that, you are making this way to complicated. Your OP was about the potential damage of strong signals to tuners. The answer was that such damage is not possible. For whatever reason, you appear to be reluctant to accept this answer. Whether you accept it or not, that is the answer.

My advice to you is to worry about things that are more likely to happen--like running out of gravel.
