It's maths, simply.
Every bit of resolution gives you 6db more of dynamic range, so when  
the peaks hit -6db you're already using all available bits.

24bit= 144db
16bit= 96db

Keep in mind that there are no converters that will give you 144db of  
dynamic range - best ones top near 120db.

All the above is true with PPM metering clipping at 0db (which is  
what every daw has).
