Yes, at least it can appear to be greater than 100%.
Consider that speaker, particularly a horn can also confine the radiated energy into a space smaller than full spherical.
This is referred to the Di or horn Q, for example a horn with a Q of 10, has 10dB of gain over an omnidirectional point source.
