100 watts in a Marshall tube head is pretty loud.
Mine is 200 watts and it's thee loudest thing I have ever encountered. I usually have it set between 1 and 2, and our band is one of the loudest in our area. Having 200 watts makes it easier to have a much cleaner sound at higher volumes, but my amp is also pretty rare.
Chris from Kinski uses a 100 watt Park head, which is very similar, and he likes a loud clean amp. They vary from head to head though, and I would highly recommend testing anything you are thinking of buying.
Also, in my experience 100 watts of solid state doesn't really compare to 100 tube watts in terms of beefy volume.
You might want to try a Music Man 212 combo. They're about the most powerful combo amp ever made, and I prefer their sound to that of a Twin Reverb. I think they're 150 watts (at least 130), and I know two people that have them. Very very loud, much more than you'd expect from a combo, and though their prices are starting to go up a little, they're still much cheaper than a vintage Fender.
