There are so many ways to get good sounds at low volume that there are no right or wrong ways. Personally I generally prefer the response and flexibility of big amps, attenuated if necessary.

I honestly think that owning a good attenuator and then being able to choose from all the great amps there ever were is a "better" way (if indeed one way can be said to be best)
The sweet spot for any amp is the goal, and so all these new ‘re-amp’ devices are the ideal.
Practically, though, clean headroom with a master volume to dial in some dirt is probably the most sensible thing to do this side of £1k.

Obv modellers are trying to capture this to greater or lesser extents using cab simulation etc and I have to say if im at home i dont normally bother turning on amps as helix native sounds much better at low volumes.
.........some respond really well to a good attenuator and others don't
ALSO some 15w Amps EG ; Matchless Lightning or a 30w Vox AC 30 are as loud as some 100w amps
My Lightning 15w would drown my Brunetti 50w Plexi
Not all small amps are quiet
