Most of the EL84 based amps (fishers, scotts, eico,heath and more) are 20 watts max. many will only put out 12 to 18 watts continuous. They sound great but don't have much power. The EL34 amps will usually go 35 to 40 watts. KT66/KT88 & 6550 amps will put out decent power too-at a price.
I stay away from dynacos due to overpricing. Also, the dynakits tended to be home built. Some people did great jobs others were ????
If you find a garage sale amp for $50-go for it. I'd be weary of someone else's upgrades.
If you want to check out completely upgraded vintage gear that sounds amazing and has a warranty, check out mapleshade.com. They love to rebuild old fishers.
Also, audioclassics.com specializes in vintage amps, especially mac. You will pay a lot but will get nice quality.
Personally, if you don't have much experience here, you may want to play with inexpensive new gear first to get an idea. Antique sound labs and Jolida have some inexpensive stuff used.
