I never really thought much about the energy since the lowest weight I ever used would slice through a deer and keep on going.
To me it's a matter of a more forgiving trajectory. There is diminishing returns because the higher draw weight require a stiffer thus heavier shaft.
Also keep in mind that what you can comfortably draw back in the proper position is different from an out of position draw that can be dictated by circumstance in the field.
Most successful hunters I know shoot 60 pounds or less.
