That's true.
My 97dB 4Pis and 1.8 watt 45 amp sound natural only for Guy/Girl with guitar or small combo Jazz/Classical. Wonderful though.
Count Basie or Jazz combo with Piano the 45 gets confused and I switch to single-ended pentode (6550s) with about 7 watts. That combination almost works with major symphony orchestra. I've got a pair of 50 watt Push-Pulls on the bench awaiting my imminent retirement to finish and they, hopefully, will give the JBL 2226s the ride they need.
I'll still rotate amps tho'; each has a heavenly aspect I miss after too long with another.
