If the river is too big (high amperage), the water wheel will work just fine, because it'll only use the amount of water that fits in the paddles...the rest of the river flows on by.
Ok, if the "rest of the river flows on by", does that mean that even if your end use device is drawing .9 amps, the wall wart 'river' is still going to draw 1.2 or 1.5 or whatever amp rating it has, turning the 'excess' to more heat and a slightly higher electric bill?
