how can low watt tube amps drive speakers with higher power requirements
They don’t. They clip at the slightest power chord.

Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs?
Here also.  Went with nice bookshelf speakers as monitors to record my records to computer then record to cd.   Was great, went back to my BIC v-630’s  for recording. Much better! Still love my bookshelf’s!,!

Anyone have experience with Vincent hybrid gear and electrostatics?

Measuring amp power.
Type in your amp name model number followed by “review” or “on the bench” “bench tested” good luck 
I need more Power Scotty !!!!
I agree, what you have, sounds like a great system, with the KEF speakers. And outlaw receiver.  Emotiva amps while, descent beginner seperates, would be a not so good move, they Are a high gain amp, and would probably give you a hiss from your sp...
