I really don't, but the Hammond amp used to drive that reverb was only about 20 watts.

Can you think of a sensitivity control that would work in line prior to the standard hammond limiting circuit.

It's a speaker output, how about an attenuator?

I found this on the #12 bulb.

Looks like they are no longer in production.

I found that an 1156 turn signal bulb works well. And it can handle 100w
