Tube Amp Watts and Quality Electrons. LOL

Have a serious Q. On occasion, I see a serious comment about matching amps and speakers. And the post makes a passing reference to "tube watts" or something to that effect, permitting an inference that a 100 wpc tube amp is somehow not the same as a 100 wpc SS amp. Can someone explain why this distinction is occassionally made. I assume it doesn't have anything to do with the quality of the electrons.

Thanks and Happy Holidays

Bifwynn, this article might help, pay attention to the issues of odd ordered harmonic distortion, as that relates directly to your question:
