Have you ever tried or considered a set of well matched Genelex Gold Lyon KT77s?
While I tried the same KT88s and EL34s as you in former amps I owned, several audio friends and members on this site have provided very positive feedback on the KT77s for a particular result and type of sound. Rarely do I see comments someone does not like them. Not as much kick as KT88 yet musical midrange like EL34s too; a blend of sorts, fwiw.
