I have similar musical tastes to yourself and home demoed a few SS integrated amps. It is worth trying to hear a few as some, to my ears, are over-detailed and fairly dry sounding compared to the sound signature you describe that you prefer. I would recommend Vitus for a very natural, slightly warm, very rich sound, especially the SIA-025 which is class A. Or for a warmer, more velvety, but less detailed, sound then the Luxman range.
Personally I preferred the Vitus as the Luxman sound was a bit too dampened, but on certain music it shone. Given the warmth of a 50s Sinatra recording and the Luxman was to die for. But move to a classical piece and the Vitus shone brighter. Overall to my ears the Vitus has the best of all with little compromise.
I have not heard Pass amps but hear good things.
