For me I left full tube amps behind in the early eighties. Even the 150W beast I built was insufficient to give me the clean bass at volume that I desired. I swapped from the beast to 200W per channel stereo power amp, again home grown, and finally I was happy. My current rig is a 2KW capable stereo Class D power amp driven by a tube pre-amp I designed for that purpose.
That said I do love the tone my Sixties Ampeg B15NF gives me. :)😍
