SS amp or receiver that sounds like Tube Amp

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.

@jimbennet There are class D amps out there now that sound very much like a good tube amp. I use a set in my system, with speakers designed on a particular tube amp I used to use. The class D amps are as smooth and revealing as the amps I had before, but with a bit more focus- its easier to tell what's happening in the rear of the sound stage. I don't miss the tube amps at all. 

I can vouch for what @atmasphere said.

@jimbennet From you post where you warm up to the sound of a vintage low power Onkyo, you prefer vintage tube sound - warm, cozy, comfortable, thick, and laden with background noise - which is how the solid state Onkyo, and many other vintage solid state designs sound.  However, these vintage solid state products fall short in the reproducing the seductive midrange bloom and image dimensionality of vintage tubes.  I have a vintage rig in a vacation home so know and love the sound when there.  However, there is a difference between vintage tube sound and modern tube designs.  Modern tube designs have made notable improvements in reducing tube background noise, providing clarity and detail, while maintaining that seductive midrange bloom and dimensionality.  Compare a vintage AR design to their wonderful modern designs currently offered to understand my point.  So if you prefer vintage tube sound, stay with a vintage Class A amplifier to approximate the warmth you seek.  If you like modern tube sound, go with one of the following:

AR S100 or 200; Burmester; Humboldt; Griffin 

These will provide the sweet warmth, bloom (admittedly to a lesser but not significant degree) and dimensionality of tubes with the clarity, transient speed, and dynamics of solid state.  Be prepared for sticker shock so research while sitting.  

Another vote for checking out a Hybrid.  I have a hybrid preamp using 12au7’sand mono blocks using 6922’s so I can tube roll and get the sound I like.  Oh and MOSFET output transistors sound less SS and more tube like.

All the best.

What an oddly clueless thing to say. You’ve right from the get go are receiving terrific advice and options from a lot of experienced guys here. Perhaps reading comprehension isn’t your strong suit...
