Volume knob position is not an indication of how one amp may be producing more or less power than another. The gain of the preamp section and amp section for each will vary as well as where the volume knob ends up for a certain SPL in your system.That being said, I'm real curious to know how your Cary SLP-80 sounds compared to the Plinius 9200. I'd love to try the SLP-80 someday as I've owned a few excellent Cary amps over the years. I'd like to try a Plinius amp too as I have never heard one.
My all time favorite 'affordable' tube amp was the AES/Cary SixPac monoblocks, each with 6 EL34 tubes in triode mode. These are wonderful sounding with EL34 magic. They rarely ever show up used anymore on Audiogon but were quite popular about a decade ago.
