Short of #45 DHTs, triode wired 6V6 family tubes are the best bet in this power range, for GOOD sound. Obviously, highly efficient speakers are needed, when approx. 2 WPC is the power yield.
A 12AV7 or 5965 will provide all the drive needed in a RC coupled setup.
If the OP includes substantial amounts of reservoir capacitance on the amp's chassis, along with using a shielded umbilical between the chassis pair, I don't have objections to separating the amp from the power "iron", rectifiers, and some filtering elements.
BTW, a good performing, low cost, B+ PSU for the project, can be built around a Triad N-68X isolation transformer and a pair of Cree C3D02060F 600 PIV Schottky diodes. "Full wave" doubler topology would be employed working into very substantial stack capacitance, a "hash" filter, an "ordinary" filter choke, and reservoir capacitance.
