Your amp should be quite loud! It's a very good sounding amp.

Depends on the first, yes on the second.

That amp into an AR3a, for instance will give substantial volume, but
will not be "loud" with a very dynamic source without clipping, it is
just a little thin for very inefficient speakers. However, I suspect
that the OP needs to do some maintenance and perhaps repairs before he
will realize the full potential of this amp.
