I believe, by knowing what speakers you have, i can tell that music you listen is "classical" "jazz" "blues"...not exactly in this order, but close? I would take VLT ST-85, 64Wpc tube integrated. Second, i would give Linn Majik a listen, great phono stage, and sound you wouldn't expect from the ss amp!
Consider the Bryston BP60 with remote. One of the audio mags used the Josephs when they reviewed the B60, and really liked the combo. Bryston's phono stage is said to be excellent. I own the basic B60, and used it with the Planet for more than a yr. Very good synergy. With Bryston's legendary reputation for customer service, and 20 yr. warranty, it will retain much of it's value for a long time, making it a truely safe purchace.
