OK, he had the headphone output connected to the input of a 50W Marshall combo - but that characteristic buzzsaw distortion is from the MS-2. (No idea what he used back in the early days - some sort of fuzz pedal probably.)
I had one years ago that I fitted with an extension speaker jack so I could run it through a 4x12". Still probably not quite enough to gig with, but impressively loud and full-sounding for such a tiny thing.

If you don't want to do that and never use the headphone jack - which sounds terrible for headphones anyway - you could modify the PCB on the side jack to bypass pad resistor and remove the contact to the ring terminal (by desoldering the connection and carefully scraping away the edge of the hole so it can't touch the pin), that way it becomes an extension speaker jack.
By the way, the schematic available online is wrong because it shows the resistor in series between the amp's output cap and the jack switch, whereas it's between the jack switch and the contacts.
