You have a very nice system but your description is vague. I suppose by lush and romantic what you mean is a classic, old school model. With speaker sensitivity you list I would recommend the Bob Carver RAM 285:

Lush and Romantic Tube Amps
Hi All -
I am on a quest for a lush, warm and romantic tube amp. Ideally, it should be 75 watts and upwards. I’m in a large room and my speakers are 87.5 sensitivity and 8 ohm. The room is large.
The system:
LTA preamp
Innuous Zenith music server
Merason Dac 1
Cardas Clear cables
Suggestions are welcomed.

I have been using Carver gear for about 20 years, both his preamp from Sunfire and a Carver amp that uses trickle down tech from the legendary Lightstar design. Bob has a LOT of patents so when you hear one of his designs I find it unique. The preamp I use is solid state yet has a tube like sound signature similar to a Jeff Rowland tube design. The amp I use is a 5 channel amp at 80 watts a channel. It uses a tracking downconverter that can push those watts wherever they are needed for brief periods. Then look at the in home audition policy: Enjoy a Carver Amplifier Challenge in your home with your speakers.

If you type Carver into the search bar of the Virtual System area you will find many members with systems posted using his designs you can contact via DM. You can also see many of the professional reviews that are linked to on the Carver website. https://www.audiogon.com/systems/9107
