For a commercial amp, Alpha will meet your requirements, especially the
8x and 9x series, or the more recent ones. .

However, you can easily homebrew an amp that will even beat Alpha for
brick-on-the-key performance. A single 8877 or YC-156, massive power
transformer, heavy gauge tank coils and an oversized blower will do the
job. 

Not everyone wants to homebrew, but it is an option.
