Since you have a reasonable budget, you have a lot of options. I can confidently recommend both Pass and Coda gear. You may also wish to consider some integrated amps. It's been too long since I've heard any decent tubed amps, so I'll leave that to others. As for SETs, I've spent 10 years in SET-land Including 845s, and don't think that's what you want. They just won't have the control you seem to want. That requires current. Right now, I don't recommend class D amp, because I don't think the technology has matured yet.
Take your time, and good luck.

I have considered keeping the AVM Audio amps in place as they are some of the nicest SS amps I have heard. I think they are fundamentally sound.
I have considered adding a tube pre amp, but it has to mute output at start up because the SS amps will be on 24/7. I have thought of an ARC REF 5 SE, or an Allnic, or BAT. But not sure which one to explore as I have not heard the BAT or Allnic, and to be honest the last ARC stack on Vandersteens we're disappointing.
Stick with the AVMs. I've always been impressed with them at the audio shows I've attended. Why spend money if you don't have to?
Since the AVM is getting fixed, and you clearly like it, I say stick with it. I can't help you with preamps, I haven't auditioned any in a long time-I prefer integrated amps.
