I think the Sound Valves VTP101 might have the features you're looking for.

They were designed with the HT enthusiast in mind. I have one myself, but only use it for audio. I never found a "did it all" system that I liked so I have a separate HT system in the same room. No compromise ever necessary and easier to upgrade the separates.
Unfortunately, the VTP101 is no longer in production. However, every once and a while I see one show up on ebay, but they seem to be in high demand and sell fast. I think some other companies filled the void when Sound Valves folded, just not sure who.
But, hopefully the review will give you something to think about.
If you can find something modern with the same features, I think you might enjoy it. Mine is quiet, plenty of gain, and the design is surprisingly sophisticated. Also easy to repair when the normal stuff wears out.
