Thomas Meyer of Vinylsavor has built multiple amplifiers inspired by Sakuma - here's a link to his 45> 45 amp:

Search his website for others (211> 211, 300B> 300B, et al).Larry D. Moore of Ultra Fi has built several 10> 10 amplifiers known as the 'Ten Squared' - its possible that he still has some for sale:

I've heard this amp on multiple occasions, and it sounds great!Finally, I designed (but have not built) a 1.5 Watt semi-Sakuma amp that uses a single 6BL7 per channel - I call it 'semi-Sakuma' because the tube sections are directly-coupled. If anyone is interested, send me a private email and I'll share the schematic. [Signal only; you'll have to design your own power supply.]
Please note: this free schematic offer is somewhat time-limited...I could get hit by a truck, or misplace the schematic or...who knows? So, if you want one, ask now.These are just a few I'm aware of - there are most likely more.
Happy New Year!
