The AC30 is 30w rms into 16ohms. What that means is that the power tubes start to break up at around 30w, so the actual output can be a a fair bit higher.
Combined with 2 x 12inch speakers, there would probably would not be much difference in perceived volume levels. Valve amps sound good when overdriven, as opposed to solid state(generally).
