Tube type vs Wattage


I've had a couple 30-50 watt tube amps with KT88's or 6550's. Would I give up anything in the bass department with a higher powered el34?

Is it incorrect to compare wattage or transformer quality to bass delivery in a certain type or tube?

Thanks

Atmasphere: Could you provide a few examples of tubes that you feel are "linear" and those that you feel are NOT linear?

(I imagine some designers are not trying to make a linear result and I imagine some consumers don't want a linear result.)

Can all tubes be made "linear" depending on amp design?
