Try a medium power tube amp like a Fender Blues Jr. It has 15 watts and is pretty loud! If you like a bit cleaner with a blackface breakup, then the Fender Princeton Reverb reissue, also 15 watts, is great. I've use mine for 5 years and its a ball to play at home or at the gig. A Peavey Classic 30 is also a great tube amp for so many practical playing out situations. It's a bit rare to see big amps on the club stages these days as stages are smaller and PA systems are much more efficient. Stay at a max of 30 watts with whatever amp you chooseand put some Boss pedals in front (just 2 or 3 at a time). That's all you need to sound great. Any good player could use any of those amps (and many others) and get pro sounding results.
