You need the amp to be in its sweet spot for the best tone. You can turn it up or down in the mix of the song however you like, but if the amp is barely on when you record it, it will sound thin and wimpy. For that reason, a lot of the best rock 'n roll tones are recorded on very small amps cranked up loud. There are lots of examples of huge sounding guitars that were recorded on a Fender Champ or similar little amp (Rolling Stones, Clapton, etc.).
