Power Amp suggestion

Would love to hear recommendations on replacing the power amps in my system. Current system is Roon Nucleus+ Server, Chord DAVE DAC, Audio Research Ref 6SE, Bryston 28 SST2 monoblocks, B&W 802 D3. Cables are all Synergistic Research Galileo/Atmosphere . Have not heard the Swiss uber expensive equipment but would Soulution or CH Precision make any sense?

I would consider speakers before amps too, that may change your direction on amp selection too.  Unfortunately the B&Ws are very hungry, you need a lot of power for those.  A big Pass or McIntosh would be nice.  I think the big name Swiss brands are very overrated (I’ve heard many).  However, I would consider new speakers that are more efficient and then replace the Bryson with maybe an ARC Ref160.  
How do you like the DAVE DAC?  I’m considering one.  Are running the Nucleus into the DAVE directly through USB?
