What do you want to play with it? Metal or other genres? There are some good options for preamp pedals.

Mostly on the metal - punk side , nothing crazy , standard - c is about as low as I go tuning wise ,

Low wattage doesn't always equal low volume. I have a 5 watt Class A amp that will pump out 110 dB of volume. If you're mostly playing punk and metal you're not going to be pushing for power tube saturation. You'll be getting most of your distortion from the preamp side. Don't worry about wattage and look at amps with a good master volume. Most amps these days have excellent MV's.

What's you budget?

The ENGL Ironball & Fireball 25 are decent

I love my DSL1HR. It has a 1/4 watt mode too which is where I use it.

I can't recommend a Fryette Power Station enough. I'm picky and hard headed, and I want to hear my tube amps through a guitar cab. A PS allows this at low volume, or high volume.

And you can still line out into an interface. Solves so many issues.

Try a few computer plugins?

I can play my tube amps loud, and use my computer plugins more.

That new Laney Supergrace pedal might be worth looking at.

When I was in a apartment ....... I used Amplitube on my computer and headphones ..... worked great !! The same ... of course not .... but it worked better than I thought

I went the interface route and was never really happy about it , budget is around 1-1500
