Knowing Keith's equipment, it comes as no surprise:-

His horns have a sensitivity of about 100dB/watt, so his 8 watts will
provide a level of around 109dB.

Full range?

His IMFs have a sensitivity of around 84dB/watt, so his 100 watt
amplifier will provide a level of around 104dB.

So, his 8 watt valve set-up will sound louder. This is before any
subjective loudness increase caused by higher distortion in the valve
set-up.

Keith made no claims as to which sound better (at least not in this
thread) only loudness.

A PA horn would sound louder still.
