Personal amp evolution

Seeing the over night success of the speaker evolution thread, it may be interesting to see what type of amp(s) we have all run. Same deal as the other thread-we will sort of create a puzzle of our systems you'll have to visit multiple threads to put everything together!!! ;)
For me I started:
Adcom GFA-565 monoblocks
Rotel RB-990bx
Jeff Rowland Design Group Model 5
Balanced Audio Technology(BAT) VK-60

either a CAT JL2, BAT VK-75se or Tenor 75Wp on the horizon.

To the best of my recollection:

1970's in high school now vintage fisher tube amp
and also a harman kardan tube amp.

1980's Threshold Stasis s-100 I think it was. 100 watts per side. I sold it cheap to my dad who's really enjoyed it.

Late 1980's Audio Research D-125.

Currently Quicksilver V4 mono's.
