Dear @inefficient: My first ML amp was the 23 followed by the 23.5 ( that I choosed over that Krell you mentioned. ) and 20.5's and 20.6's.
From those times were excelent designs and between them Threshold S500 II and S5000e, believe it or not are a challenge for any today Pass ones.
You need to take a look to the Parasound monobloks JC1. I listened paired with different big speakers: top of the line Soundlabs, the big Dynaudio and Magico. Very good with either.
The ML33's has very good engeneering but its performance has not the design levels.
I never heard these Electrocompanient but I owned its electronics and are very good designs:

I forgot another very good choice could be the Gryphon Antileon where I have too first hand experiences.
Have fun in your hunt.
