Need power amp recommendations for system

Greetings. This is only my second post here.  Have read a ton and enjoyed it.  I'm assembling two systems at roughly the same time.  I'm down to amplification for the main system.  Here's the components I have:

GoldenEar Triton Reference loudspeakers
PS Audio BHK preamp
PS Audio Direct Stream DAC
PS Audio Direct Stream Memory Player
VPI Prime Signature TT with Soundsmith Zephyr MIMC cart
Manley Labs Chinook SE MKII phono stage

Should I just finish it out with either the BHK 250 or the 300 monoblocks and have a PSA stack, or would you go a different direction?  I have access to Rogue Apollo Darks at a very good price and I am open to other suggestions.  I really don't want to tinker, but someday I may look around at other loudspeakers . . . maybe.

Thank you in advance for your advice.

What amp are you using currently?  What would you like to improve upon and/or what's most important to you from a sound reproduction standpoint?  Image/soundstage, detail, tonality, PRaT, etc.?

Curious why the Mytek Brooklyn amp. I’ve read a bunch about their Brooklyn and Manhattan II DACs.  I'll have to research this amp.

I read that amp list and review at least three times. That was a long and detailed review of a huge list of amps. Decware was not on my radar. My other system is a tube set up with Spatial M3 Triodes and McIntoch MC275 amp. The Decware intrigues me greatly. Line Magnetic has looked interesting for awhile.

soix - This is my first dip back into two channel audio in about 30 years. It’s my starting point. I’m currently listening to GoldenEar Triton One’s with a Parasound Halo intregrated and the VPI Prime Signature turntable. It sounds great, but I’m no audiophile and honestly, I don’t know what’s most important to me yet, nor am I trying to improve anything. The list above will be my the starting point of my main system and I’m hoping to get it right enough to not have to make many changes.
