The power scaling of the Morgan I found useful but it did not get the amp down to household levels of it was fully cranked.
If you’re stumping up for new it’s probably worth trying one at the store, no?

I think some of what people critique about power scaling is really about the loss of less obvious feedback effects and the general differences that happen when you dramatically drop volume.
It also doesn't explain why turning down the master volume sounds better than turning down the power scaling, on an amp with both.

I’m not putting down your experience, but it does show how personal folks tone preferences can be.
Trying them out for yourself has to be the way to go If possible.
Load boxes and IRs could be the other option but is a little more faff...

I tried fiiting the PS module to my Lionheart first and didn't like it at all. A simple l-pad attenuator sounded way better.

They have several different systems - turning off two valves in a 4-valve amp, running a single valve, cutting the mains supply voltage (but like a Variac - the primary voltage to the amp is effectively reduced), and using two separate push-pull valve sets (one of which is triode, in some amps), or sometimes more than one of these in the same amp. None of these are the same as either power scaling or pentode/triode switching though.
