Alleviate brightness by using tube pre?
Carl is right, the cheapest and most benefficial way to upgrade your system is changes you can make in your room. Heavy curtains, persian rug, bookshelves...etc. Room acoustic is THE most important "tweak" 
Best used Solid State Amp $1500.00

HELP! Solid state amp for small Klipsch
I would check "Musical Fidelity A220" class "A" amp, that will sound like tube, and still have a "dynamics" and "punch" of the solid state. 
WHERE AND WHAT tuner?
I would go on E-bay, and "snipe" yourself nice vintage "Fisher" tube tuner for less than 200 bucks. You wont regret. 
Budget Tube Integrated amp?

Speaker Cable upgrade
...i would compare "Dragon" with SR Designer's Reference, they are little cheaper(new) than "dragon" around $4000/10 ft.pair. 
ADDING SUBWOOFER
...in setups without high-pass filter, bass will be fed to your satelite speakers as well as to subwoofer. That may sound like a benefit, but it's not! Most satelites can play louder and cleaner if they don't have to handle bass.
