Yep, you were correct. I checked the burned bulb and it was Sylvania HB4 rated at 51W. I am surprised by the fact that Volvo is so careless in their official references. I think the difference between 51W bulb (actually installed on the car) and 60W bulb (in the owner's manual) is prety significant!

However, when I went to the store I found only one kind of 9006/HB4 bulb, manufactured by GE. So I bought it. I even forgot to check what the rating on the bulb was. (I puzzled why they never put the wattage rating for the auto bulbs on the package?)
