Proac Studio 100 - will 35 wpc be enough?

Hi all, I am looking for advice from this competent forum. I am about to pull the trigger on a used Proac Studio 100 for about 500 USD (3500 Swedish crowns) which seems to be a good price. I have a tube amplifier, JJ Electronics 543, with 35 wpc. Does anyone know if that will be enought. I have read some mixed opinions about amplifier to the Proacs with opinions of them matching well with tubeamps, but also needs a lot of Power. Any experiences on this subject is highly appriciated!

Many thanks in advance.

Thanks for the answer. Yes, I agree, the Power is often overrated. Do you have the Proac Studio 100 as well?

Thanks all for the helpful and clarifying replies! They all have good points. My room is 3*6 metres with a high roof at 4 metres but I usually listen at moderate levels and seldom at dynamic music. Also sitting pretty close. As a father of two the need for party-levels is reduced! According to Stereophile, the impedance of the Proacs seems to be acceptable for PETA (People for the Ethical Treatment of Amplifiers) :-), and I also like the sonic signature of tube amps, so I will go for the Proacs.

Now the Proacs are at Home and they really shine. Clear and open, no signs of boxiness. Thanks for all replies and for pushing me into right decision!
