Yes, you can get alcohol poisoning from any percentage of alcohol. The high concentration makes it easier to get poisoned with little time for you body to react to the danger.
It also depends on what KIND of alcohol it is. Isopropyl alcohol or any other kind of medical/industrial type (which you CAN actually get in 100%) is dangerous in any concentration. Even drinking a small amount like a small sized bottle can harm or kill you. Now if you are talking about drinkable alcohols (such as grain or anything like that) then yes it can also kill you, but no more than any other alcoholic drink. With these kinds of alcohols it simply becomes what AMOUNT you drink. Hell beer can kill you, but its generally too difficult to physically drink enough to have severe effects because they only have something like 5-10% alcohol content. But there are PLENTY of 150+ proof (which would be 75% and up, proof is simply double the percentage) alcohols like Bacardi 151. Some forms of Absinthe have also been known to be upwards of 90% alcohol content (the hallucinogenic effect is NOT however from the alcohol its from the Wormwood). So theoretically (if a 100% alcohol safe for consumption were available) it wouldnt kill you unless you drank enough to make your blood toxic, it would however be much easier to drink too much and kill yourself with that high of alcohol content.
