Which amp to drive Totem Signiture ones?

I have a sytem in our living/dining room. The Totem Sig 1's are driven by a Kora 60w Jupiter tube amp and Kora Eclipse tube pre. Cables are cardas golden cross, nordost red dawn II speaker cable. The sound does not move me and I believe that the amp is not up to par. I know the Totem needs a bit of power, and i hoped taht 60w of tube would do it. what amps should i consider, and should i look at ss? I may have to go ss because of space issues for a larger tube amp. Say budget is less than 2k for used amp. I have also considered adding a powered sub, say a rel srata. Thanks all.

You have great little speakers.

I would first concentrate on the amp before I would consider a subwoofer. With a good, powerful amp, you will be amazed at the bass output. Being a "Krell man", I would probably look at a used Krell. Maybe the KSA200S. It will give you that punch you are looking for to "move you".

If I am wrong, you can sell the Krell a get what you paid for and be out little or nothing.
