No, I don't believe it's typical. In my experience, most Pentecostal churches do believe that the more hoop and holler, the more power of God.
We have visiting preachers come to our church and stress the hooping and hollering, because they apparently don't think we're doing enough of it.
My pastor has taken some flack because of his de-stressing the 'shouting' aspect of church.
We do still have "shouting" services, but we don't feel like it's been a dry service if we don't. And he does teach that everything should be done decently and in order, and as MBlume mentioned on another thread - "the spirit of the prophet is subject to the prophet". There's a time for exuberant worship, and there's a time to be still.
No one in our church is pressured to "shout". But, yes, I have found that to be unusual.
