Upgrading from Integrated Amp to Separates


I have a Primaluna Dialogue Premium HP integrated amp now, driving Harbeth M40.1's.
I like the sound, but am considering upgrading to something more powerful and with greater finesse.
I have had solid state gear in the past and have always come back to tubes, so I think I want to stay with tubes.
I would like to get a stereo amp (no monoblocks) and match it to a very nice preamp.
I have been considering Balanced Audio Technology gear but beyond that I really don't know.
For my budget, I would prefer not to go over $10K total for both components.
I am in no hurry to make this change, just thinking and doing research right now.  I am willing to take more than a year to decide if necessary.  
Please give me your suggestions.
Thanks!
Peter

Thanks all for the suggestions so far.  Very interesting!
The Lyngdorf sounds interesting but I am skeptical of do-it-all devices promising to solve all room issues and weighing less than 20 lbs.  I would love to audition one but to take a leap like this against all assumptions I have in my head is a difficult thing.  That said, I will look into it and see if I can get an audition somewhere.  I live in Minneapolis-St. Paul area so I will need to search to find out if any local dealers carry this product.  Also, I take it this is a class D amp?  I currently own a Primare I32 integrated, which is class D, and while I like it when playing digital sources, I really don't like the sound when playing records.  I should have mentioned that I primarily play vinyl in my system, with the occasional CD thrown in for good measure. 
Other SS amp I owned was the Rega Elicit 3.  Really didn't like that one.  It was probably just not a good match to my other components but it just never sounded anything but clinical in it's sound.  I traded it in for a Cary SLI-80 integrated and fell in love with tubes from that point on.  
I have a question about the Lyngdorf amps.  I do not own one, but am intrigued.
I recently bought a Audioquest Niagara 7000 power conditioner, and have noticed serious noise reduction and sound improvement from my tube amp and other components.  
Will I benefit from the Niagara when using a digital amp like the Lyngdorf?  I assume yes, but I'd love to hear from those who have experience with this type of amp.
