I think it's also a good idea to have a wide variety of amps, meaning....low watts to high watts, a good 5 watt amp can be killer in a small venue and you'll sound amazing. Then for the shows that require some serious volume, you'll need something like a 50 watt tube amp, otherwise you won't be heard over the rest of the band. And it all comes down to what you can afford. I totally agree, tube amps are the way to go and the tubes play a huge role in your tone, of course along with your “cupping” style.
