A transformer by itself can change the voltage of a signal but does not change the amount of power. For a given increase in voltage, there is an equivalent decrease in the current.  The power remains constant.   In fact due to resistive losses the amount of power is actually a bit less.  An amplifier, on the other hand, can increase the power of a signal by using the input voltage to control a more powerful source.
