Anything Like a Joule Electra?

I have a problem. I just borrowed a friends JOULE ELECTRA 100 MARQUIS momos and altough they are not quite powerfull enough for my DYNAUDIO TEMPTATIONs.
They were FAT and LUSH and made my SIM MOON W10's sound hard and metalic!
The next larger JOULE; the GRAND MARQUIS is list for around $18,000 and I realy don't want spend that much (staying married is still important) and of course I never see them used on AUDIOGON.
Can anybody recomend a less expensive amp that is similarly warm, rich and detailed.
Thanks

Actually, they would still be OTLs, because the Zeros are not output transformers but auto transformers, seen as part of the speaker, instead of the amp.
