Sometimes we can obtain sufficient voltage from an op amp but do not have sufficient current. Examples include driving low impedance loads or loads with high capacitance. While it is possible to use ICs which boast higher output current and power, another approach is to add a current boosting stage within the op amp's feedback loop, as shown in this video.
