I know your Red Dragon recommendation was well intended but
he failed to look at the big picture.
Your tube preamp has a high output impedance
the Dragons have a 10 k input impedance.
This will be a pretty bleak match.
I would suggest you look at the Belles Aria Mono Blocks with a 100 k input impedance tube Pre amp friendly and plenty of current to work with the Dahlquist DQ 20s and many other fine speakers.
Here is a review of the Aria Integrated FYI the mono versions of these amps are a real wonderful performer, made in USA and I think you will find even more sophisticated then what you are already enjoying.
