Tube Amps Watts vs SS amp


Can someone explain is there is a difference between the watts of a tube amp vs vSS amp, Looking to get a tube amp ,but i see that the watts are much less than the SS amps, So how do these Tubes amps with 25 -70 - wpc drive these high end speakers, I have a vintage pair of AR 9s and 2 mcintosh MC2200 amps in mono (400 WPC) to drive these ,what tube amp will power these under 3-4k new or used, ThanksĀ

Frankly I would change you speakers to more efficient speakers. You might be amazed by the quality of modern speakers. Also the posting on the livelinessĀ 
of tube amps is right on the mark. No solid state amp can equal the sound of tubes, that is the presence, sound layering and ability sound good at low volume levels.
