I picked up an Onkyo TX-2500 MKII that sounded like my tube amp. I was actually stunned. Any other and hopefully newer SS gear sounds like a quality tube amp? Tube amps usually have a natural sound and lots of detail with high clarity.
Perfect example of a person (OP) that wants a quick, simple and definitive answer. Of course when it comes to subjective pursuits this type of answer is impossible to give.
I think that part of the type of amp is making the system sound pleasing to the OP. Doesnt seem to be adding complication one bit. Although if you want an amp to sound tubed then buy a tube amp.
