It's a great question with which to begin.

Rich has a really good point there...The answer of the initial question may lie in your chops and breathing but trying new mouthpieces won't harm your playing unless you try to change mouthpieces all the time, without leaving yourself the time to work with a single mouthpiece, so you can progress...Whatever the MP you will need time for acclimatisation and then hope for a progress. If a new mouthpiece is chosen you should put 1-2 weeks to get used to and then start work on your tone and range...
