EL34 tube monoblocks that doubles power at 4 ohms

Is there a EL34 tube monoblocks that doubles power at 4 ohms? I currently have AES six pacs, which I love but I also heard they are still 50 wpc at 4 ohms. Just trying to see what the alternative is. I am running maggie 12s.

Good tube amps have large and stiff power supplies so the doubling is not really necessary. Alan
