The essential idea is to use less powerful but preferable amp for mids and highs (much less power needs.
Then use a more powerful amp dedicated for the bass.
The mixture of low powered Tubes combined with a high powered SS amp for Bass fitting this scenario best in my mind, i.e. the only reason I would try it.
This presumes the speakers are full range, not needing a sub which can be self-powered, essentially the same thing.
One thing to keep in mind: a crossover somewhere to First remove the bass frequencies from the low powered amp and thus remove the need to make bass from the tweeters and mid drivers is needed.

Raven says bass is 65% of the power need ’normally’. (they have a built in crossover)
"The Avian MK3 series high-pass feature provides an extraordinary advantage when using a subwoofer. By removing bass frequencies, it frees the power amp from 65% of the load it normally has to bear. This is like tripling the power of the amplifier in terms of its ability to drive speakers. It also frees smaller speakers from reproducing low bass frequencies which reduces speaker distortion. This is all achieved with a gentle 6db per octave slope making it easy to achieve a seamless and musical transition with any good quality subwoofer.
