A point to be aware of is that the output impedance of the SLP-98 rises to a very high 6800 ohms at 20 Hz, according to John Atkinson's measurements. So you should avoid amps having relatively low input impedances, and low input impedances tend to be much more common among solid state amps than among tube amps.
Personally, I would avoid amps having an input impedance of less than 47K, despite JA's mention of 20K. Although how critical that will be will depend on the deep bass extension of both your speakers and the source material.
Also, I would particularly second the last sentence of the post by Hanaleimike.
