try staging the gain..
PUT A VOLUME PEDAL IN THE FRONT END, OR A MULTI FX UNIT AND TURN THE VOLUME DOWN ON IT ...YOU WILL HATE IT BUT IT WILL WORK
the best thing to do is not play it at home .. find a room where you can let rip whenever you want ..like a practice room or an old garrage somewhere..
have fun whatever you do decide

Turn up the vol on the amp and down on the guitar.

If the attentuator route doesn't work or proves too expensive you could always pick up a used low wattage amp such as the 15W Vox Pathfinder R they retailed for only about $125 and you can buy used ones these days dirt cheap and although they're solid state they have a real convincing tube-like warmth to them.They also have reverb,a great tremolo and a headphone jack.
