How many amps (heads) do you have?

Instead of a list, I’ll provide a pic…enjoy/use all of them! Don’t really ‘need’ five, but I do like the ability to change things up periodically…

Need to sell off some of these as I don't need them all...it was part of my journey...the never ending one in search of tone.

Definitely some heavy hitters in this thread...
If the question was "have you had" the number would be staggering...
But, I've never really owned more than two (2) at any one time. (a) stage rig (b) combo (that has also been a stage rig) I have currently trimmed that down to one (1) with the dynamic changes in sound reinforcement in the industry, in general, and the glut of used gear.
I just turned loose 700 watts and scaled down to 100 watts with a single 15" Orange cabinet. (I've done this rig before with the pedalboard preamps.) It a nice and civilized rig that works into several types of situations.
I figured, if I need heavy artillery, I'll call-in air support...

I have the 6.0210T that I purchased for live use with my rock power trio. I like it so much now looking to snag the 112 for lower volume needs How different is the overall volume and tone? Is it worth having both in your opinion?
I have 2 amp heads. A Markbass LMIII and a GK MB200. I also have a rack rig with a BBE B-Max preamp.
In ascending alphabetical order and, coincindentally, descending weight order.

Main gigging head...G.K. MB800 Fusion.
Backup head...G.K. MB2-500.
Head that I bought just because...G.K. MB500.
There maybe a 4th. I'm holding off to see what Agedhorse comes up with next in the Subway series and what Bob Gallien comes up with for his class D, RB series.

I've scaled down further, but bumped the wattage from 100 to 400 and consolidated to just a combo. This amp was never offered as just a head version stand alone..
This is now my Tesla cure for any type of amp GAS. With the direction of the industry, it's my last amp..but, I did order the $5.00 nut for the Piezo channel! (50 lbs., no external speaker connection, on casters with top & side handles) $300.00

I only habe 1 at the moment but I have short wishlist I'm working to aquire.
An epifani 501
Gk leagacy
And there is an older amp, someone posted it recently. It's only 300w, but it has 2 fully parametric mid eq's. I wish I could remmeeber the name. It looks like a nice little amp and the eq section is quite impressive for what it is.
Those 3 amps would keep me very happy for A very long time.

1967 Sunn 200S
1973 Fender Dual Showman
Late 70s Acoustic 220
I had a 1968 Sunn 2000S but it had seen better days, internally and externally, even though it had been recently serviced. It was also unmanageably heavy, so I sold it. I think the 200S sounds better anyways and is much lighter, (and in way better shape) with no shortage of power.
