Ok Swissified, you have a large room and you want to use a tube amp on a budget listening to rowdy music. You are going to need very efficient Loudspeakers. I already know what you think too big is. Speakers always come first. Klipsch Heresy's should do fine. They are small, are very clean and neutral their only defect being a lack of significant bass below 40 Hz (just like every other floor stander near it's price range), they go very loud on minimal power and they have a very handsome retro look.
Rogue Cronus Magnum 3 will drive the Heresy's to an easy 110 dB no problem. This system is now above the Rega 3's paygrade. I would go with a Clearaudio Concept/Satisfy tonearm and put a Charisma MM cartridge in it. The Charisma in perhaps the best rock and roll cartridge I have ever heard. You would have to spend serious money on a MC cartridge to get one as dynamic. Easily over 6 grand. My Ortofon Windfeld Ti Cartridge, as great as it is can not keep up with the Charisma playing Rock and Jazz.
Down the line you can think of hiding subwoofers somewhere:)
Oh, and just to give millercarbon a headache Tekton speakers are garbage.
