I had the same conclusion about the arc vt100 that you had. I found CJ to be too warm though. i ended up with a pair of vtl 185s to drive dunlavy athenas and they do great even in triode. They will smoke the st150, nothing against that amp either. the dunlavys like high current amps but i don't think they are real power hogs. I was considering aerial 10-ts before i got the dunlavys and spoke with that company. they said that the 185 would work but they were pretty much a minimum since the 10 ts are current hogs.
the VTL folks claim they like the c version of the 6550 the best when i spoke with them. haven't tried any tube rolling in mine though its coming up on replacement time soon..probably stay with what i know though
