If your socket says not to exceed 60-Watts, it is referring the dangers of high heat output associated with incandescent bulbs. However, LED's do not emit dangerous levels of heat. Thus, if your fixture says --not to exceed 60-Watts-- but you want to use a 100-Watt equivalent LED bulb, this would be safe to do so.
