Any idea about the smallest/lightest tube power amp to match with the Noble pre and and have a dream "all tube" rig?

Hey check this out - Sean Hurley! This dude, in my humble opinion, is the epitome of taste, pocket, and part. And what DI is he using over all others?
^^^^This... Made my mouth water. Still trying to unload some gear to give a home to one of these brilliantly amazing little boxes. The more I hear it, the more I can't wait to have one.
I took a lesson with him last year. He's a very engaging fellow, and I can tell you firsthand that his touch on the instrument is just superb.
AND I'm very excited because it looks like I will be ordering my Noble next week! CAN'T WAIT!!!
Oh and ALSO . . . this vid completely snuck under my radar. It's me and Tim Lefebvre talking about the power section in the Noble DI. Once you get through the pontificating, Tim's playing, concept and tone are truly incredible - especially around the 4 minute mark.

Yes, I saw that. Also, you can check out Amos Heller using the Noble on an active 5 in his video:
Hi folks,
Being that the Noble seems very well built, I don't think any owner has ran into problems up until now but tubes being what they are and pedalboards being thrown around by roadies on the road, how's the easiness of maintenance if a tube fails for whatever reason ?

I LIKE the upright look! (hmmm)
A while ago, I used my Noble for a recording session with my band. We recorded two bass tracks for each of the two songs: one clean signal from the Noble DI; and one overdriven signal, with a silverface Bassman and a miked 2x15" cab. But, since the engineer was so happy with the sound of the Noble, we didn't use much of the distorted signal in the final mix.
The two songs - "Long Gone" and "One Night, One Dance" - can be heard at our bandcamp page (see link below), or on a multitiude of digital services (Spotify, Apple Music, et.c.):
Alabama Moonshine Co.: "Long Gone"/"One Night, One Dance"

I want one of these bad. I have to much $ going other places this month to get the wife to say yes.....hopefully next month.
I used the Noble for the first time last weekend. I ran it through the return of a TH500. Nice tone, actually very nice. The highs were much sweeter than what I've been able to coax out of the Aggie. FOH sounded quite good, though not night and day from my REDDI. I have two so maybe I'll let one go and keep that and the Noble. Options are a great thing.
