RE: Guessing mid to high 90's? Maybe even low 90's

I wouldn't worry about 16 ohms because lots of speakers were 16 ohms back in the day and most tube amps weren't much larger than 20 watts per channel with 4,8 and 16 ohm taps and loud could be had in mono.
If you lucky enough to have true 3-way Aristocrats with the better EV drivers you don't need lots of watts to drive them.
Just don't go crazy with bass boost and around 25 watts per channel should be fine and better yet if you have corners to shove the Aristocrats into to work as designed for extended bass.
