Generally anything more than 50 tube watts is too much for club gigging, but if the amp has a good master volume, and you and the rest of the band don't get into volume war's, then you should be fine. Just don't be surprised if a soundman gives you a hard time. They hate big rigs. But, it's nice to have the extra oomph say for an unmic'd outdoor gig. However I have played an unmiced outdoor gig with a 50 watt 2x12 tube combo and was plenty loud.
