Well, now that we know that you are an old time solder slinger it is just a matter of picking your poison if you know how much money you want to spend on the project.
It seems that the power triodes are all the rage nowadays and so one must pay a large price for participating. To me running pentodes like el84 and el34, or beam power tubes like all the 6l6 types will get you very, very close to the triode sound with many more options. I have several amps that I can run a 6v6 to a 6l6 and others that run el34, kt66, 77, 88, 90, 6550, 7027. With a simple switch you can run between triode and pentode or ultralinear for even more listening options. This allows me to utilize all the different power tubes that I have collected over the years. I find that this is not only sonically satisfying but also a ton(e) of fun. cheers, Dak
