Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps?

I feel like I'm running low on power with my current 100 watt tube amp, so I'm looking for suggestions. I'd like to try solid state, but I want an amp with an airy, rich tonality. I've been thinking either Pass (love the XA series, but I'm afraid it won't be enough power) Pass X, Krell, Clayton, etc. Can you make any suggestions (new or used somewhere in the $5K - $10k range)?
Thanks in advance.

All of the brands that I prefer have already been listed.

However, I highly recommend mono blocks with whatever brand you choose.

Hi Louisl.

Unless you have upgradeitis, you might try the Autoformer described above before spending lots of $$$ on a new amp(s).
