From my experience, a 100watt tube amp will completely crush a 300 watt solid state amp.

That is because tubes and transistors overload differently. A tube distorts in a musically-pleasing way, allowing you to increase the volume (while also increasing distortion) without it sounding horrible. A heavily-overdriven tube amp sounds warm and creamy, whereas a transistor amp sounds like it's falling down a stairwell.
