Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps?

I feel like I'm running low on power with my current 100 watt tube amp, so I'm looking for suggestions. I'd like to try solid state, but I want an amp with an airy, rich tonality. I've been thinking either Pass (love the XA series, but I'm afraid it won't be enough power) Pass X, Krell, Clayton, etc. Can you make any suggestions (new or used somewhere in the $5K - $10k range)?
Thanks in advance.

OEM, his subject line reads " Are There Any Good, High Power Solid State Amps?"

Every answer he received is accurate. It is his responsibility to determine which is the best fit in his system.

It's funny to me how Pass's pure class A sounds different from Plinius or Clayton pure class A. It seems that class A is not always what we expect. All that said, the Plinius or Parasound JC-1 Monos may fit your needs.
