You're looking at it backwards. It's not how much power is enough but how efficient the speakers are to produce the volume level you want. A highly efficient speaker, say 101 db per one watt/meter, will blast eardrums with only a couple of watts of power whereas a 86 db @ 2.8 V-m speaker will require a couple of hundred watts to be at the same level. It's like saying: how fast can I go with a 160hp engine - if it's on a skateboard, then very fast but if it's in a bulldozer, you won't move. Power is irrelevant unless you define the load it's driving.
If you want tubes and loud, look at high efficiency speakers. If you want a speaker that's not too efficient, go with higher powered tubes or solid state. A watt is a watt - but what a speaker does with it varies from make to make.
