As a rule of thumb with valve amps you can get away with 6dB less headroom compared to ss amps due to their benign clipping behaviour.
You really need high power ss amps not because you need the power but because you really need the headroom.
As much as I personally like ss amps I'd never ever would want the hear one get close to clipping.
With that in mind a 50w valve amp would be equivalent to a 200w ss amp.
Provided current delivery is not an issue of course.
