The literature section of this site shows all the combinatons of both the 100-1 and the 100-2 heads with either the 115 cabinet and the 2x12 cabinet with both cabinets and heads being offered in JBL, Altec, Jensen, and CTS speakers. The trick you want to do is get a 8 ohm speaker in that cabinet. The head with preform at maximum and increase your headroom. The two heads were mixed and matched with several different cabinets that had either a 8 ohm total load for the 2x12 cabinets and 8 or 16 ohm load speakers for the 115 cabinet, depending on the brand of speaker. I had a 115 cabinet that came with a 8 ohm ALtec speaker and I have owned another 115 cabinet that came with the 16 ohm CTS. Kustom installed the 8 ohm Altec in the 100SC amp. It was probably more of inventory control that all the 15" CTS speakers I have ever seen in the 2x15 and 3x15 cabinets were all 16 ohm.

Another option is that you keep your cabinet stock and buy my 100 reverb head and 115 CTS cabinet and run both cabinets in parallel to get your amp to a 8 ohm total load and run dual 15 cabinets. That would be kool.
