Please recommend a powerful tube amplifier

Folks-

I have Audio Research 250SE (~200 watts) monoblocks and my new speakers are Wilson Audio Sasha DAWs. I like the "ARC tube amplifiers to Wilson Sasha speakers" sound and the power is important. Please help me - what about Doshi Audio monoblocks, other Audio Research tube amplifiers, VAC, VTL, Balanced Audio Technology, Jadis, McIntosh, etcetera? All relevant recommendations are most welcome.
  • I am not interested in solid state power amplifiers;
  • I am interested in monoblocks;
  • I would like a minimum of >140 watts per monoblock (or channel for single chasis) to drive the Wilson Sasha DAW speakers.
Thank you in advance!

ARC REF160Ms or REF160S would fit the bill, but not sure how much of a step up they would be.

Also, I suspect many manufacturers will be upgrading or releasing new amps due to the availability of the new KT170 tubes (assuming they are available, lol)
