Default Wall Heater Thermostat

My new wall heater has a gas valve that is thermostatically
compatible. The most common thermostat for this heater is
called a "microvolt" thermostat. It apparently get its
microvolts from something heated by the pilot light.

What I can't seem to get my head around, is how can such a
small amount of power manage to horse-open the rather high
flow gas valve?
