I understand that the power would be less but would there be any damage If not turned up full I have no speakers that could handle it anyway
Thanks any way.....

NO NO NO!
The amp will have a quiescent current draw thats very close to its full output assuming a standard class A/B design. Add to that the steady draw from the Valve heaters.
It sounds like you have a limited understanding of how the circuit works, or indeed basic valve theory and basic safety when dealing with high voltages.
I'd strongly advise you do some fundamental studying. You'll get plenty of friendly help on here and no question is too daft or basic.
Whats the valve line up for starters?
