Tubes tend to provide a different sound signature than solid state amps, but the differences are nuanced. It should be easier to drive Maggies with lower powered tubes or tube hybrid than low power solid state as tubes tend to clip (distort) softer than solid state amps.
Although not personally familiar with the Vincent gear you've mentioned, I've read a lot of positive testimonials. Look forward to reading more on how your system develops and will post further thoughts based on my experiences with 3.7i Maggies if useful. I'm sure others here will have constructive ideas on your set-up and goals.
Cheers,
