Audiophile recordings may have peaks as much as 20dB greater than the perceived loudness (short-term average), so if you are really cranking it, what yoou hear may well be clipping.
Solid-state amps usually have much more negative feedback than tube amps, so they clip more aggressively. Some professional listeners such as recording engineers make it a practice to avoid peak levels greater than 6dB below clipping - that's 1/4 the power. I believe this is the origin of the claim that tube watts are bigger than solid state watts. Tube amps clip more gracefully; you really have to push it hard before it sounds bad. That's a major reason guitar players prefer them.
