Damping of a speaker is a combination of its physical characteristics, its electrical characteristics and the size and tuning of the box it's in. But basically it's the shape of the bass roll off. But still even if a speaker is well damped(most really aren't so they sound bassy to help sell them) at the impedance rise(closed box) or rises(ported box) the bass will be fuller than for a high damping factor amp(usually a solid state amp). A damping factor of about 20 will have a measureable but trivial affect. Unfortunately most tube amps have a damping factor below 10.
Still before solid state amps everyone used tube amps and they weren't that bad. And current tube amps aren't that bad. They just don't control the bass as well.
