Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps?

I feel like I'm running low on power with my current 100 watt tube amp, so I'm looking for suggestions. I'd like to try solid state, but I want an amp with an airy, rich tonality. I've been thinking either Pass (love the XA series, but I'm afraid it won't be enough power) Pass X, Krell, Clayton, etc. Can you make any suggestions (new or used somewhere in the $5K - $10k range)?
Thanks in advance.

Kurt_Tank,
Great, great suggestion. I've heard those amps (although it's been awhile ago). I'll have to rethink all over ago now :-)

Jmcgrogan2,
I think the Clayton M300 would be more suitable, as I'm pusing 100 watts now, and sometimes it runs low on steam.

Audiofeil,
I'm sure there are, but I have a kid I'm sending to private school, and a house in the burbs! Money is an issue. What suggestion you got in mind?

TVAD,
Maybe so. The Passes would be great, but I listen to stuff loudly sometimes....(don't know what it is about those VR4's I have, but they just don't come alive until you put some juice into them!).
