Integrated amp for tube lover


Downsizing and looking for an integrated amp of 100 or more watts/ channel that will satisfy a tube lover. Not many tube integrated amps fit that power requirement, but open to tube or solid state. Considering Krell K300i, CODA CSiB, Boulder 866 (doubt that it is "tube-like" enough), and Gryphon Diablo 300 (more expensive than I’d like). Can use separate phono and/or DAC. Thoughts on these or others?

I’m assuming you don’t want tubes based on your OP but how about a hybrid amp? I noticed in the classifieds that member Grannyring is selling a Circle Labs hybrid integrated those sound excellent.
