No, weak is not a likely culprit.

It may be that half of your output is not working. But when signal is weak and the tube is not clipping the bottom, it might sound OK, but with large signal hou might have 1/2 the waveform.

This can be due to one tube being bad, or one half of either of the transformers bing bad.
