I play clean mostly and use my twin and pro at large venues or outdoors, to heavy, but love the tone. I use the hot rod deluxe at mid size clubs to save my back, and my blues jr. at small bars and pubs which sounds great to me, and seems perfect for small blues jams. I've played thru a 22watt deluxe and think it sound great also, which will probably be my next investment, and is probably the best choice for small pubs if the band decides to turn it up abit and rock the house.

I get great tone from my TR even at low volume. Clean is clean. If you have a drummer you can use a twin!

+1 on the DRRI
+2 on the 59 Bassman RI

Either one of these amps will make your guitar sound soooooo much better. I gigged with a DRRI for a couple of years and liked it a lot but I did find that I was often running it in the early breakup range, from about 4 on the volume depending on your pickups. It never had enough low end for me either, but I like a LOT of low. If you want LOUD LOUD clean then it will limit you. The reverb on the DRRI is king tho, as good as any Fender amp.

The Bassman RI will give you louder clean, and an even sweeter early breakup too, plus a bit more versatility in tone. It has a presence control and the full 3 band EQ, plus you can jumper the inputs and mix the normal and bright sounds together to taste. It will also push more air and feel louder even at the same volume, with more bottom end thump. The 4 x 10 speaker setup fills a stage in a way that a single 12 can't. The DRRI is much more directional, if you aren't standing in front of it it sounds distant and quiet, whereas the Bassman projects more. Closer to a Setzer sound I reckon.
