Class A Monos may not be essential. Certainly stepping up to a more powerful amp from pass would be a good option.
There are other manufacturers that produce warmer Class AB or even hybrid Class D. You could also consider McIntosh, Naim, AVM or others that have a warmer sound profile. They will run cooler, get to temp and sound optimal much faster and IMO, sound just as good.
