There are a lot of audiofiles and audiodealers say that tube poweramps can drive more difficult speaker loads per less output power.
Is it real or just a catch?
Explain why?

It is because solid state amps like low impedance speakers. A 16 ohm speaker could suck the marrow out of a high wattage SS amp. While a lower wattage tube amp might drive it extremely well. Many tubes amps deliver higher current which quite a few speakers need more than wattage.
