The way I read it, you can build one amp _per model_ per year. 

97.315 Certification of external RF power amplifiers

(a) No more than 1 unit of 1 model of an external RF power amplifier capable of operation below 144 MHz may be constructed or modified during any calendar year by an amateur operator for use at a station without a grant of certification....


To me that means if you make a reasonably significant change from one amp to the next you can build all you want. So many different tubes, so little time!
