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!

The Audio Hungary Qualiton X200 is 100wpc. This is a measly 1dB or so below your arbitrary 140W minimum. In other words you will never hear the difference. Not in power, anyway. In a lot of other ways, sure. Because if the first watt isn't any good, why would you want 139 more of them? 

This integrated amp can be run integrated, or used as a power amp, or even used as a preamp. Lotta flexibility.
