If anybody says you have to have 200 watts to play in a band they must be using really crappy watts. I used a Yamaha 100 wat head for 15 years making a living doing it and playing in 800-5000 seat clubs. The drummer used an EV keyboard cab (1-18, 1-10 and horn) for a monitor and pointed it right at me. I use a 210 cab and have a 1-18 if the band got loud(er). The smaller places i was on my own. The bigger places I went through the PA. This was one of the loudest bands I have ever played in.

I'm going by the fact you had a Crate 25 and didn't mention something a LOT bigger. I'd check the Roland. Also Fender and Ampeg lower lines. The ones I'm suggesting are bigger than a little practice amp. You could play a job with them. But they aren't to the level of durability I would take on the road.
