There a dozens of EL-34 integrated amps on the market, not to mention vintage integrated amps which there are also literally dozens of amps to chose from.It all boils down to amp/speaker matching with tube amps and also the iron has ALOT to do with the sonic character of tube amps.
There are vintage amps out there that with a good rebuild, will bring sonic nirvana at a much lower cost than a new amp due to vintage iron that is not available today.
If it were me in your shoes, I would look at procuring an EICO HF-87, having it rebuilt with premium parts and jumping off the upgrade merry-go-round :-)
