Very little air flows down the clarinet. What vibrates is the air that's already in there. After all, even the most open tip is pretty thin, and x-ray videos show that the reed seals completely against the mouthpiece in all but the softest playing.
Everything is personal and depends on anatomy. I go crazy playing close-tip mouthpieces even with the hardest reeds. The air backs up and I turn purple without being able to get anything louder than single-forte. I've always felt best with a more open tip and medium-strength reeds. But that's just me.
