[Elecraft] Driving a linear with only 15 watts?

Since a linear amp is supposed to be "linear", is there any reason that
you have to run 65 to 100 watts into one?  What if you used a linear
designed for 65 watt drive and only gave it 15 watts?  Does the spectral
purity change?  Does the efficiency drop?  Does the linearity degrade?
