How Much Push/Pull Tube Power for Maggies

I have a 40 wpc el34 integrated tube amp and was thinking of mating it with a pair of maggies. i would probably start with the mmg's, and maybe work my way up. would this amp drive maggies? thanks.

If you don't own an SPL meter, it might be a fun tool to own. It certainly helps to put things into perspective, and knowing volume levels helps you assemble a system by eliminating some guesswork.
