Well, with the Legacy speakers, the only way I would use a tube power amp is if I bought one of their speakers with built in amps for the subs.
That picture is it your house? If so, what is that on the top shelf? I would get the Oppo on a shelf by itself, with cones or some form of isolation. More on that later.
For or more bass impact you could use a quality sub./subs with the Legacy Signatures.
Tube power amps are expensive to maintain. I would go with a really nice tube preamp and a solid state amp. Look at my main system, just click on my name. I would really consider used. You might be able to buy a pair of Focus used. They need careful setup or you will have bloated bass. And they need power with lots of current.
I have to get going, give us a full description of room size, budget, and we can go from there. John is right you don't need to spend that much on amps. As to the Tascam, I think John has stock in the company for all the times he has recommended it. It might be a great dac though, and it is reasonably priced. Lots of options.
