SET Amp Sweet Spot

My Cary 300B SEI amp is in the shop so I picked up a little Decware integrated. The Cary puts out 15 watts and the Decware SE34I.3 puts out 6 watts. My speakers are 97db efficiency Audio Note speakers.

I pretty much have to run the Decware at 90% of the max volume to get the same volume as 30% on the Cary which is perfectly understandable.

Question: The Decware sounds pretty damn good and warms up much quicker than the Cary. Does running the Decware at nearly full volume hit its sweet spot where for the Cary, my room is too small to find its sweet spot?

(Please no flaming about why the Cary sucks, etc.)
