Kronzilla has a reputation for serious impactful bass. VTL has great bass, nice and full. My Canary CA 160 sounds awesome w/ my Parsifal Encores, awesome bass, tighter than the VTL's bass and deeper. I would definitely look at VAC as well... their higher end amps would sound great (second the 70/70 mentioned, or their 220 standards or Phi amps).

I don't you'll get better bass from a tube amp the CAT JL2 and JL3s. "Soft and Wet" - I don't think so, tranparent and natural maybe. You could probably work on the pre side of the house mush up the sound a bit.

I was thinking more on the high end side like a pair of LAMM M2.1,M 2.2 or even pure class A, -M 1.2 REF (LAMM)
and also the BLUE CIRCLE AUDIO BC 208, all hybrid design.
Need to be patient to get those on the used market at a fair price !!!

What do you mean "more on the high end side"? Power? Price? Quality?
