You can get closer, but not there yet, with a class A PP triode, using DH triodes. Next closest would be class A PP triode, using something like a KT88/6550. However, both these are too probably too low power to drive your speakers and , at the end of the day, they don't sound like SET, just close.
From there, it's a long way to where you want to go, and the only SS amps I have heard that come even close are the designs like First-Watt, but I haven't heard that many SS amps to tell the truth, and these amps are also low in power as a rule.
You can get colorations of different sorts from preamps, also some changes in detail and sound stage, and maybe even balance, but that's about it, at least as far my experience goes.
