You note that you get no oscillation at full power, then funny stuff at low
power.
I’m a bit thin on solid state amps, so I try a possible tube amp idea and terms.
Tube amp tank circuits are designed for a particular plate voltage and plate
current, hence plate load impedance.
Tune up at high power for the designed Zp. All is happy.
Drop just the drive, for lower power, and the tank circuit and input circuit
values are out of the park.
That plus some other weak component (L connector) might be the cause.
