Indeed, you'll need a very hefty 300B to reproduce large orchestral works with ease especially if you want one amp to drive the spkrs full-range (I would suggest you use another amp for the bass).
DIYing is an excellent option, as suggested above. Also check out a refined classic designed at goodsoundclub.com.
IMO this investigating is well worth doing BEFORE you invest 10k in a commercial product!
