Pretty much the only way to exceed 100W is to be running a high end gaming laptop, while actively playing games.
A desktop equivalent(ish) quad core hyperthreaded i7-4700MQ that turbos up to 3.4ghz only has a 47W TDP, which is a worst case number, so even heavy duty number crunching isn't enough.
Even exceeding 100W, you'll still be draining the battery much more slowly than when unplugged. At 125W the battery will last 5x longer.
It's hard to imagine a real world situation where 100W would be insufficient, where the user wouldn't be very much better off using a desktop machine for gaming.
