No such thing as an adventure bike, only adventurous people and their definition of adventure varies considerably, so will their need/want/desire for power.
If you’re really talking about an overland bike then that too has too many variables - time, budget, route, accommodation etc......
As a general question it's impossible to answer. There are over 7.5 billion people in the world and every single one is different, even identical twins are different. Time and time again I hear “I don’t understand why people do this or do that”. No one knows why we’re different so no one has to understand, we just have to accept it.
As a specific question........ At the moment 110 bhp, with lots of torque, is perfect for me. If I get the opportunity to circumvent Africa then 25-35 bhp will be my choice.
I’ve read lots of posts like this and they nearly always descend into a big v small bike argument. The trouble is the bike is only one factor of a trip. You don’t sit in a bar crying with laughter with a bike, a bike doesn’t share a campsite meal or a cold  round a campfire, a bike doesn’t help you when you’ve got a problem - the rider does, whatever the power of their bike.
Vive la difference
