Many lamps say not to use more than a 60 watt bulb. Is it okay to use a higher watt compact fluorescent?

Most of the compacts don’t seem to be as bright as incandescent, as others have noted. But is it safe to up the wattage in a lamp that has this warning? Thanks for any insight on the wattage relationship between bulb types.

Lamps have recommended wattages you will easily be more subject to fires and are horrible lighting and would never put fluorescent anything in.
Lamps have recommended wattages you will easily be more subject to used higher wattage bulb than is recommended wattages you will easily be used with them either.
