Believe you are looking for Event Triggers.

As far as Postgres is concerned, "can drop the object" is pretty much
the definition of ownership. Maybe you need to rethink who owns which
tables in your design. (Yes, you could use event triggers to interfere
with the normal system behavior, but that doesn't make it a good idea.)
The owner can revoke her own TRUNCATE privilege, but that's just a
mistake preventer, since she can also re-grant the privilege to herself.
