Stop talking nonsense.. Seriously..

The only output power you should consider is that of the overall amp in RMS. 150W RMS is enough to destroy your neighbours ears. My Vox has a variable output and the only settings I ever use are 30W RMS and 60W RMS, and believe you me, 60W RMS is MORE than enough to keep up with a drummer.

You see rock bands with huge STACKS of amps.. Most of those are for show.

15W tube or 150W RMS.. that's just wrong.

FYI RMS is the only thing you should pay attention to because it's the true representation of what the amp can produce.
