No, I believe the newer models do offer more power: I sent my older sixpacs in to Cary for the Jensen upgrade and was advised that different transformers were available bumping the power up. After I received them back with the jensen caps and larger transformers, they sounded vastly superior to the original design... Night and day if you will!
I have also found 6CA7 output tubes to be great in the sixpacs, they are much cleaner at the frequency extremes than el34's.
