Maybe if you square wave it.
Pretty much exactly what you do with a cranked guitar.

True, and is why I mentioned it because rruston didn't say what he
meant by "quite a bit more."
Of course, it could also be one of those esoteric "sounds as loud as"
kind of things since, without even considering speaker SPL, 50 Watt vs
30 Watt is only a bit over 2 dB and indiscernible to casual
observation. Sneak the volume knob up a notch and who would notice if
it clipped a smidgen more on the attack peaks?
