Looks like you can, from various threads on amp forums, but you're at the top end of even the JJ 6V6S capabilities and it will be a lottery with NOS valves. Seems the key thing is that you make sure the screen voltage is at least 10v below the Anode, you'll need to change the resistors for that from 470 possibly to 1k or even 1k5 to be safe, they'll also need to be 5 watt or thereabouts. Then need to re-bias it down to about 12 watts per output tube. Not sure if you'll notice a huge volume drop but it will sound different for sure, more compressed?
Buy an attenuator. Earlier breakup at any volume below what you have now, no mod to the amp.

cheers for the input fella's. some food for thought there.
these are great amps and they have a lovely rich, warm tone and they drive really nicely when cranked, but to get them to that level usually results in bleeding ears! i get great results though using a couple of different drive pedals so i will probably leave well alone rather than risk frying their insides. it would be nice to hear that natural distortion at pub gig levels though. and don't say sell one and get a deluxe reverb. maybe i should. NO!

The higher powered Mass might be worth a look.
