Best high gain amps for low master volume settings

[stereotactic]

Hello, now that I’ve lost my main preset after a fractool mishap, I might as well go all the way back to the drawing board. After lots of experimenting, I’ve concluded I prefer the sound of high input drive/preamp gain and relatively low master volume settings. I had been using the Citrus RV50 on the R and the Energyball on the L, but which other amps have architectures which lend themselves to high preamp gain and low master volume settings?

The Mark II and IV are doing that pretty well

The dual recto does well lowering the master volume. I have it low on my recto 1 red patch.

The 5150 and 53 models do well at low master settings, and I was pleasantly surprised by the hbe models at low master settings as well.
