If you like live R&R from the 70's era, why not try a vintage piece. With one caveat - have it professionally restored and rebuilt.
Say some thing like a Marantz 2230. Has looks, balls, built like a tank and was made to play "live and loud". You could pick one up for around $200-300 with around $400-500 for a professional complete rebuild. After that it would last longer than you!
Well under your budget, it will last a life time and looks GREAT!!!!
Tubes - your going to be well into the $2k range. Even vintage and restored.
However, I AM a tube guy!
