I've got a 2.1amp 5V charger. Will it blow the power supply fuse or damage any of the other hardware ?

That's incorrect. The phone has a built in throttle that only draws the amount of amperage out needs. Kinda like a water hose with a valve at the end, regardless how much flow is available, the valve controls how much is let through. While a stronger charger wouldn't charge the battery faster, I do like them for greater versatility across devices and it would theoretically last longer because it isn't working as hard to deliver the same power as a weaker one.
EDIT: Probably a better analogy would be the 110V wall outlet. Those are typically 30 amp circuits, but you don't see them damaging small devices (defects aside of course).
This guy got it.
Thanks guys. But then how big could I go ? Could I go a full 16amps ?

Lol yeah. I don't think USB is capable of delivering that much power through that small of wire. But like Ctowne said, it would still be ok if you found one that strong.
