Round 2: Tubes amps, no ss discussion

Thanks for all the input on the first round. Let's look at Manley vs. Consonance vs. your choice. Here are the criteria. Running 85db mini monitors with passive woofer system that just image out of this world. They are clean, natural, accurate and musical. I have a CJ MV 60 and am potentially seeking a slightly more dynamic and aggressive sound without giving up anything that the CJ offers. Price - up to 4K. If there is a SS amp that you think fits the bill, please mention it. Or, is a tube transplant a solution?

3 possibilities I can think of:
1-change to a more aggressive tube, ie GE vs mullard
2-go to a powered sub/crossover running between the pre and amps. This will give a ton more power and shouldn't be an audible difference crossed below 100hz. According to the owner of Janis (subs, crossovers and sub amps), if you cross over the system at 100hz, you will effectively triple the output power available to your speakers!
3-Get a more detailed cable-I love nordost
