Hi
I love my Atma-Sphere MP-3. Clean, pure, musical and accurate.
It has an excellent phono stage. No need for a separate PS.

An all tube, no transformer, unprohibitively priced, phonostage seems to be a unicorn.   Nothing against SUTs, it just seems like a shortcut and another thing in the signal path that could affect the sound.  Doing my homework on this subject, I'm starting to see how most tube designs use transformers for LOMCs. 

"An all tube, no transformer, unprohibitively priced, phonostage seems to be a unicorn.  Nothing against SUTs, it just seems like a shortcut and another thing in the signal path that could affect the sound."

The "affect the sound" thing with an SUT is totally subjective. I'd be more concerned with having onboard SUT instead of adding one to an MM only phonostage. Why have more stuff-(SUT/IC's)?

There are likely other choices, but it's going to be a off the radar, small "boutique$" unit. 

Seems the used NVO gets listed from an owner who either $teps up the food chain or gets out of analog. If you want something "reasonably priced" consider keeping  on eye on the listings and be ready to jump on one.
Otherwise, all those suggestions of everything but your requirements are solid.

Aural Thrills Audio ’The Beast’ has only tubes used and is similar in design to the TRL DUDE preamp in build--huge chassis, huge power supply, 9 tubes used vs. 5 in the DUDE. Will quietly do LOMC down to .4 mv. He built this unit using the best sounding parts after testing for many years. Like the DUDE, it is a big chassis.  $2500 new.
