You want the 'most powerful' EL-34 tube amp?
Take a look at the VTL Wotan BEASTS!
You can run el34's in the audiovalve challanger 180 monoblocks and get 150 watts of class A power;install 6550's or kt88's and max out power at 180 watts;this amp drives my soundlab m2's extremely with the 6550's and kt88's as I have not listened to the el34's as of yet;Bobby of Merlin was quite interested in this amp when I asked him the question if any of his customers were driving Melin's with it.
Here is a picture of the Tyler Acoustics room from the AK Fest in metro Detroit this year showing what amp he uses to demo his speakers. Its a Jolida JD-1000, 100 watts per channel EL-34 available used for around $1200.

That $1200 price is for a used amp. Also FWIW I thought the Tyler Acoustics room was the second best sounding set up of the whole show.
