Save up a couple hundred more (or sell your lawn furniture) and buy the Hegel H70 for sale on Agon right now. Make an offer.
Yeah save up a bit more. There's an Eastern Electric M88 and Rogue Cronus for around 1200 or so on audiogon at the moment.
The 1062 is a great amp. Its probably just as good as most of what is within your budget. You'll have to be careful that you don't end up with something that's not an upgrade. In my opinion, a Creek 5350 would be a very nice upgrade.
Try tubes. If I was buying an integrated amp I'd get a used Jolida or Prima Luna as they make a lot of variations of them, many with RC, and tubes are more fun.
