Any high power tube integrteds that do well on roc

Besides VTL and VAC are there any higher pwered above 60 wpc tube integrateds that could do justice to rock or jazz music? Like the tube sound was impressed with the VTL are their other choice. Power is an important consideration. For instance the Cary SLI-90??

Rogue Tempest Magnum is 60w and has a huge power supply and massive output transformer. Very dynamic with lots of kick. Not the dark murky sound of the Cary gear and much better build and sound than the VTL and VAC. If you want to rock stay away from the anemic bass in these EL34 amps. The Electro Harmonix 6550's in the Rogue are amazing !

I would help to know the sensitivity of your speakers. My Dunlavy's are 91 db sensitivity. I use high powered tube monoblocks and play alot of 80's Metal. I would guess that 100 watts of tube power would be the minimum to really rock unless you hve a small room. I also second the opinion that EL-34 amps don't rock.
