I also prefer overdriving a tube amp. I have a selection of amps between 2.5W to 100W, most of which I designed and built (the 100W an exception, an Ampeg V4). But even 2.5W can be a bit loud.
But there are times a solid state stomp box actually has the most appropriate sound. My favorite is an old 8 transistor National pedal (originally designed and built by Shin Ei) which I very heavily rewired so that it sounds nothing like the original pedal. I also have a modified Tube Screamer clone that I occasionally use. But most solid state pedals, even when modded with Keeley-like and other mods, sound a bit harsh for the stuff I do.
