Rogue 100 dark

I am listening to a Rogue 100 dark amp that a friend loaned to me. Am I right or wrong thinking this amp really has no tube sound? So what would sound more tubey at 75 plus wpc? I know you're going to ask so I might as well say up front. 

Von Schweikert VR4-Jr. speakers, Cary SLP 98 pre with full mod. Baetis streamer.

With a SLP-98 and proper speaker placement in a good room, you should have everything you need. The benefits of tubes happens after you have everything else sorted out. I'd look at setup rather than gear.

Maybe I should post asking for a 75 wpc tube amp that will give me that tubey sound.

I would recommend a Prima Luna amp with EL-34s or maybe 6L6 tubes. That is where good tube magic happens. I have EL-34s in most of my tube amps.

Edit: The EL-34 only puts out about 22 watts each but I have not had issues even running hard to drive speakers.
