I do have old Mcintosh MC-2255 with C-33 and I think will be very hard to find tube match with sweeter and romantic sound how you said.

I traded in an older McIntosh solid state integrated amp for a McIntosh hybrid. The dealer explained that tubes were better for the preamp stage and solid state as for the power output, like getting the benefits of both. My system sound great. Even tube-heavy Prima Luna now offers a hybrid integrated amp.
