Default Does this tube amp has enough cap

Looking at this picture, do you think this amp has enough capacitor for 60W per channel? I zoomed in the picture and I think each is about 100uf which would give 300uf total.
This is mono block so it's 300uf per channel.

More than sufficient. Vintage amplifiers in this power rating generally had far less capacitance and generally sounded fine. (In many cases less than 100uF total.)

Beyond this it gets more complicated. Adding additional capacitance is not a panacea for bad design.
