Are you planning on going all sS? Or a tube pre with SS power?
BAT SS does not have a brittle bone in its chunky little body. The bAT SS amps sound quite different than their hollow state offerings to be sure mated with their tube preamps are a true winning combination; PLINIUS; YPSILON if you can handle one tube per ch; GRYPHON is reported to be quite full across the bandwidth with its presentation; AYRE is liked by a fair number of folks; Dartziel has a rep for solid full sounding amps; Bermester 909 - 600 wpc.
A previous note on the speakers being added onto they amp du jours, should not be taken lightly, as they can further or lessen a fuller sounding arrangement. Take care there.
I’d be inclined to put ypsilon and Dart Zeel atop my list, were money no object. Good luck.
Merry Christmas.
