Bass control with low powered tube amps

I've always read that high efficiency speakers can be very dynamic and realistic with very low powered tube amps (does this mean SET or push-pull?). Suppose we take lets say some Klipsch Forte speakers at about 97db efficiency and hook them up to a 5wpc SET amp. Will the SET amp have good damping for the 12" cone woofer even though there is plenty of power? Would a lower powered push-pull amp at say 25wpc be better than a SET? In other words, can one get great dynamics and control out of the low powered tube amps and if so is one design, SET or push-pull, better for this?
