About 2000, I was looking to get into SET and had narrowed down to Welborne and Bottlehead....I went Bottlehead. As you know, both are SS rectified.
What do you think tube rectification brings to the sound that differs from SS?

I have Laurels and Moondogs, neither currently in systems. I also have a Korneff stereo 45 built by Oliver Sayes. Excellent amp. Currently I rotate it in and out of my main system with a Sean Casper 10Y. If you love the 45, I see a 10Y in your future.

  Anyone with a schematic to share?
  
  106dB horns so power is not a huge issue.

Actually, the Welborne DRD45, you were given a choice of Tube or SS rectified. When Welborne upgraded the DRD45 to the 'Star Chief' 45 amps, he only offered SS Rectification, as he thought it sounded better.
I do not currently have an opinion on the sound of SS Rectification vs. Tube Rectification. You can google it however, and find all sorts of Opinions.
