No, the amp cannot be harmed, but your speakers can be. Fuzzes are often capable of boosting the average level of your signal to such an extent that you have to be careful not to blow the tweeter in the speaker cab, and you have to be mindful of the other speakers as well. If it starts to sound bad, turn down the effect or turn down the amp.

Not to mention, it can he hard to hear the speaker distorting, versus the fuzz distortion.
