Sure - maybe.

Need a lot more information than what was given to answer any deeper than that.

It is a heck of a step down, however, vary your firing rate and see what happens.
 
I know that for the last two decades, burners have impressive turndown ratios to modulate their steam ouput, so in your case a turndown ratio of five is within technology.
 
Everyone seems to be assuming that the OP isn't shoveling coal into this boiler.
