Pass Labs heatsinks temperature
This thread got me a little curious so last night I measured the temp on the cooling fins on both of my amps(XA-100.5's). I could find no area that was over 119.8F, the amps have been in stand-by mode for several days and had been fully on and run...

Revel Ultima Solon 2s w/ Pass Labs amps
You really need to pick up the phone and give Pass a call, they will be able to answer all of your questions without doubt. I think the XA-100.5 doesn't leave class "A" and go into A/B until a little over 100watts and no signs of clipping until 17... 
High grade tube pre with digital display
Probably not much help to you but I have the BAT VK-51SE and am extremely happy with it(so I would imagine the 52 is even better). It's been a rock solid performer since I've had it for the last couple of years. I'm sure the others you mention are...
