  At 30 ohms, and the 16 ohm tap, you will have a little more than half the power available as a 16 ohm load at the 16 ohm tap.
  Any transformer mismatch either higher or lower will result in less power.

  its also likely that the tube will make less distortion since it will be seeing a higher impedance as well.

    everywhere except for the LF extremes...there there will likely be a shortage of inductance to drive such LF content into the load.

      Think of the load line oval at low frequency - the peak current demand depends primarily on the inductive reactance and is relatively insensitive to the resistive part.
