“The legislative history to § 326 discusses the interaction of the "reasonable compensation” standard of § 330 and the maximum compensation imposed under § 326: This section [§ 326] is derived in part from section 48c of the [former Bankruptcy Act]. It must be emphasized that this section [§ 326] does not authorize compensation of trustees. This section simply fixes the maximum compensation of a trustee. Proposed 11 U.S.C. § 330 authorizes and fixes the standard of compensation. Under section 48c of [the former] law, the maximum limits have tended to become minimums in many cases. This section [§ 326] is not intended to be so interpreted. The limits in this section, together with the limitations found in section 330, are to be applied as outer limits and not as grants or entitlements to the maximum fees specified. H.R.Rep. No. 95-595 at 327 (1977), U.S.Code Cong. & Admin. News 1978, 5963, 6238; S.Rep. No. 95-989 at 37 (1978), U.S.Code Cong. & Admin. News 1978, 5787, 5823.”
