Tube amp Low end Bass question

I use a Subwoofer with my current system (Rogue tube preamp -2nd pre out to sub, Nuforce STA200, Zu omen defs). I listen to EVERYTHING (Rock, metal, jazz, classical, bluegrass, electro/dance, etc) and love things a bit bass heavy. Now, I also love the 3d effect of tubes for the mids (especially classic jazz recordings). I was thinking I could pair up a Tube amp like an MC275 or something similar add a second SUB and adjust accordingly. 

Is anyone doing this with great effect?

I really like to crank it sometimes, I am a little hesitant that 15-20 tube watts may not be enough with the ZU's. My current SS amp is 80 watts and it does not peter out and feels there's plenty left. That is why I was thinking the 75 watt 275 may be the trick. 

Is the Quicksilver 60 Watt Monos SET?

Any SETs you suggest trying out? Isn't there such thing as a large watt set? I know Decware has a 40 watt stereo amp.

Hmm. I'll have to do some further digging on the 275. Maybe a nice Mark V is the way to go. I've heard a Mark VI...sounded nice...however only for a few minutes and not in my own system.
