For a cranked-small-amp midrange overdriven tone with no cleans or bandwidth-hungry effects needed, 15W will do it even through one 12, if it's a good one.

I have a Blackheart 15w thing (use with a Fulldrive II) that I love to bits and has coped in rehearsal situations no problem through a Laney 2x12. That has Celestion Seventy/80s, not a well thought of speaker but I've found pretty good for that 80s mid sound.
70/80s aren't the most efficient speakers though - you'd get the equivalent of almost double the amp power with something like V30s.

Know from experience that V30s are pretty much my fave speaker but atm havn't needed the change. Admittedly the Laney hasn't previously needed particularly high volume so not noticed. Will give it a shot though.

loud 2nd guitarist (and bass player). Similar sort of material - maybe more classic punk and new wave plus some Ska. Currently not mic'd up
More than loud enough for pubs. I use a booster pedal for solos, an OD pedal for 'more gas' and that's it.
Great tone, loud as heck and portable. Job done
