Nobody can really answer that until they get their hands on one, and there are way too many variables to give a meaningful answer.
However, on past personal experience most 60w SS amps tend to have a similar amount of real gigging power to your average 15-20w valve amp.
Although you have to take each individual amp on its own merits I did have a 100w Roland Cube here a couple of years ago and a 30w AC30 or Marshall JTM45 would utterly destroy it volume-wise.
A lot of SS amps are budget/beginner amps with cheap, inefficient speakers, but even some of those can perform surprisingly well through a decent cab.
I'm a total novice when it comes to non valve amps
Watch this:
If the blues cube sounds as good (or better?) for bluesy stuff and as a pedal platform then why would you go for the Hot Rod Deluxe?
As others have said, there are too many variables. However, one big reason that valve amps are louder than similar wattage SS amps is to do with the way they behave once they go into distortion.
