I have a 25 watt Lil Dawg and have not experienced what you are at all.
Make sure that 1/4" cable/jack you have is a speaker cable, not a guitar cable. Also I have jj's with mine. Just doesn't sound like a speaker problem if the Princeton is fine with the speaker the 5E3 should be fine too I would think. That said, I've never heard anyone using a 100 watt RMS speaker with a 5E3 before. I'm baffled and don't even think you have a speaker problem since the princeton works. My guess is you have bad tubes.
