[QUOTE=Vegas Wierdo]... And, what about taking such an amp and then seriously beefing it up with aftermarket parts (tubes, speakers, wiring, etc. etc.)?

- Replace the speakers with Weber California ceramic-magnet speakers with the paper voice-coil domes. Clear, penetrating sound. Exactly what comes out of the amp, and very efficient. Major increase in apparent loudness, without cone breakup.

- Replace the 7027A's with KT88's. Output power goes up from 120 Watts to 140.

If that doesn't blow your load for you, look for an original Ampeg V-9. That was the 300 Watt guitar version of the SVT.
