I like the sound of tube amps but it seems like the loudest is like 30 watts...
The volume to watt ratio changes depending on if you're using a tube or circuit amp. If you're using a tube amp then 30watts is more than loud enough for 500 people. You could even go with 15. My Vox AC-30 will self destruct and bring the club with it if I crank it.

If you go with a circuit then you would need around 100 - 150 watts.
