Now to Warrenh -
If you are willing or in "need" to use 100wpc for your Definitions and do not want to spend a fortune, I would recommend a hard look into some SS vintage gear and have it recondition or modified to your heart's content.
I might not be a good source of information on SS amplification since the tubes rule at my home but one piece that I own and like a lot is Accuphase 202 integrated from the mid 70's. I believe its power amp counterpart was P-250 rated at 100wpc as well. These babes are hard to find in good condition but they do show up from time to time. $400-$1000 is what they usually go for. Be prepare to spend anywhere between $250 for cleaning up/reconditioning , up to $700-$800 total restoration. I believe Accuphase might still be doing it for around $700 - that includes transistors, caps etc.
But honestly, I do not think you need all that muscle but the finesse and noise reduction to the possible zippo to bring the best in Zus.
Good luck
