Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)

Speaker interactions aside, what solid state amp brands/designers tend to have a fuller sound these days? Not necessarily warm or tubey per se, but fleshed out in the upper bass and harmonically complete in the midrange, as opposed to lean. E.g. an Australian ME Sound amp I have from a while back has this quality, without sounding overtly warm. 

Obvious candidates: Pass, Luxman. What else?

Cost no object, feel free to throw out one-liners. Think of it as a poll.  (Please don't answer tubes though, thanks. :D )

Most of my CD's are ripped in flac files on my hard drive (which I took with me prior to the flood).  Almost all the rest were on shelves above the water level and survived OK.  

I did lose about half of my LP record collection, but to tell you the truth, I have mostly gone over to digital anyway, and replaced my favorites with CDs.  The Directstream DAC made this a no-brainer!

Thanks for the sympathy.  I can hardly wait to get my music room back, listening to everything on my computer with headphones just doesn't quite cut it.

I can't believe Wells Audio amps haven't been mentioned, harmonic richness of tubes and taut SS bass, check the reviews.
