I would try posting this on "planar" asylum, as they would have more information specific to your speakers.

Here are a few off the top of my head in no particular order.

1) Pass Labs.....X250, X350,
2) Parasound Halo.....A21, JC1
3) Bryston......4bsst and all its iterations
4) Adcom......GFA-555,5500,5802
5) Classe.......Any of them
6) McIntosh......MC-402, MC-602, or the big monos.
7) Sanders.......Magtech
8) SimAudio
9) Kell......KSA
10) Oddessy..... Khartago

You can drive Maggie's with tubes with great results as well. Just make sure to use at least 40 watts per channel with more being better. I liked KT-88/6550 amps but that's me. I have heard BAT gear on Maggie's and was impressed as well.
