I needed to put it behind a closed door to play it dimed. It will be a useful amp, but I'll need to use a pedal with it at home.

I think something like your little amp might be the right solution.
At 1/8 of a watt, when connected to the JBL K120, I measured a approximately 90 dB at three feet when set at 10. Once I switch over to the less efficient 10” Veteran speaker from Warehouse Guitar Speaker, I expect to produce the low volume I would like but with a very good distortion tone. A good volume for me would not overpower a rhythm backing played on an unamplified acoustic guitar.
