To me, a 40W Roland Cube will not, and a Peavey Bandit easily will - and I do like my cleans truly clean. But a lot of it depends on how 'solid' or 'big' the sound is, as well as the outright volume - that's where a lot of smaller amps fall down, for me.

In a more rockier band with louder and harder drumming, yes, in that case you are going to need a bigger amp for the headroom.
As i always say...when in doubt...Laney...in this case the world series, even the LV100 is ok, just depends if you dig the tone of those.
That's actually what I was thinking of about "different definitions of loudness" - I had to play through a Deluxe 85 once, which on paper at 65W and with a 12" speaker should have been enough... but it wasn't, not because it wasn't "loud" but because it broke up in a very unmusical way when I tried to run a fairly heavy-sounding overdrive through it.
I agree the even bigger ones (the Stage 160 and the Ultimate Chorus, basically) are enough though.

Yes they will break up when you crank them (and in a genuinely nice way, watch intheblues play his at volume) but I very much doubt you'll need it to be that loud!
The special is a beast.
@bigjon uses a Laney, and gets excellent sounds out of it. Another amp that can be stupid cheap.
