I would second the Sim recommendation, and add a couple things. One, that also an integrated Sim amp like an I-3, I-5, etc in that genre if Sim equipment in the early to late 2000's. Under $1500 for sure, and can be found for $1000-1200 with a couple months of patience. The watts on the Sim will say less than 120-150 watts, but the output power will be just as much, if not more with proper attention given to proper low end reproduction.
Next, don't rule out the Naim gear. Same time period as above, similar prices, similar performance, but more emphasis in PRAT and less low end authority than the Sim gear. A 50 watt NAIM integrated will be as much power as a commercial product that rates its amps at 120-150 watts.
The good news is that you can't go wrong with either of them!
