I won't go into explaining why but can confirm that tube power has been more powerful in my experience. I have had Audio Research 110 wpc mono blocks, 75 wpc and a 150 wpc amps, all tube. Prior to this I had B&K 250 wpc, Parasound 225 wpc, 350wpc and 750 wpc. The ARC amps all out performed my solid state examples. If you went up the quality ladder in SS from my modest examples then less watts would have likely equated to more power.
In the end, does it matter?
You simply have to try out different components and find what works in your system for your ears.
