Why are you looking exclusively at tube options? What kind of music do you like to listen to?
If you really need 100wpc I'd highly recommend a Portal Panache if you don't mind not having a remote. It's not tubes, but it is a damn fine integrated and right in your budget, and is quite versatile to boot. I have not heard the Jolida you are considering, but have enjoyed two other products of their (302B and 502B). I was not as crazy about the 1500, which was easily bested by the Panache in my system. Another excellent route would be to find a used Unison Unico amp, which come up occasionally used in your price range. They are hybrid integrated with a tube in the pre stage. I've heard the standard Unico and it is an excellent amp. I believe it's around 80wpc.
Good luck.
