You didn't specify a price range, but I second the Pass XA30.5/30.8 and Coda recommendations. Neither option is terribly cheap, but they're both top-shelf.
I have somewhat more experience with Coda than with Pass. The Coda S5.5 is 50W pure Class A, combining great smoothness and really impressive transparency and resolution. It's truly a wonderful amp and comes with a 10-year warranty. I have the (slightly) bigger, Class A/B equivalent, the S12.5, which has remained in my system for longer than practically any amp I've ever owned.
Sugden is another possibility. Hope this helps.

A great sounding pure class A amplifier. The power rating can fool you as it plays like a more powerful amplifier.
I've been impressed with Sugden amps every time I've heard them. I almost pulled the trigger on one about 6-7 years ago, but ultimately didn't get it because I was leery of the power rating and possible compatibility issues with my speakers at the time. Maybe one of these years I'll get around to picking one up used.
