well if you got cash there are lots of options... you could try Brax, McIntosh, Helix (by brax), DLS, US AMPS, TRU, Audison, Carver (I think they made the tube amps) and you could even try out some "old school" gear....

I'd like to find a nice little Soundstream from back in the day...out with the new and in with the old...except for Zapco of course //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/patriotic.gif.b47a6e0394a3738334c387bdf79409f4.gif

Direct quote from Robert Rugani, Director of Training and Tech Support, ARPA of America:

"They put out what we say they put out, no BS. We rate our amps at a clean level. The 2200 watts is rms for a 9.0. not burst not peak. RMS. I have seen a 9.0 put outover 4000watts. And I have been told in some spl cars that they have put put out over 5000. You may be wondering how I have seen it. the little meter that the 9.0 comes wiht tells you how much per channel the 9.0 is putting out."

Any of them except Mcintosh and the tube amps... I've never seen a powerhouse McIntosh and I'm not sure if you'd want to go with tubes on your subs... but Brax/Helix, DLS, US AMPS, TRU and Zapco all make killer powerhouse amps... you can PM flakko about US AMPS, tplaya07 about DLS, not sure on Brax/Helix or TRU but all of them have amazing reps (the amps)

Besides all those other brands that is already listed you can try Arc Audio's new stuff their Zeff edition amps which is the same person that designed those C2k amps. But yeah suppose to be the best amp he ever designed.
