In my modest station (120V 20A) I run a KPA500, which has been fine, if noisy.
If I was to QRO I think I would opt for tubes. Less expensive, more reliable,

I suspect that you have a rectifying joint some place.

I own a K3 and K3S (Both fine radios but now surplus if anyone is interested)
and I ordered a K4. When I got tired of waiting I bought a TS-890 and couldn't
be happier. Always liking a spare on hand I picked up a TS-590SG for a song.
