Any stereo amp head recommendations?

I have multiple guitar amps at home but would really like to have a dedicated stereo amp head that I can run into a 2x12 speaker cab (left speaker to one amp/output, right speaker to another).
So far I've only found the Marshall el84 20/20 (single output transformer with stereo output) or Marshall el34 50/50 (two output transformers). I've never used such an amp. Although Marshall super bass are glorious, I wouldn't bet these retain the clarity of a super bass.
I would like to run a stereo trem pre amp (such as the delta-trem from effectrode) into a stereo input/output amp so the el84 appears interesting.
Any suggestions? No mono amps, please.

Ideally, I'm looking for a small alternative to a tremolo suitcase for playing at reduced volume levels at home. I'm also a guitarist with a passion for vintage Marshall stacks from the 60s but even I am conceding to their inconvenience for home playing and gigging. I have the 2x12. All I need is a stereo output amp head with the clean of a Hiwatt at a reduced volume. I live in Italy and Geloso used to be used to power stereo Hifi equipment. However, they required two separate amp heads.

Good try but it doesn't have a stereo input so the speakeasy suitcase tremolo wouldn't work.

The new Roland JC-40 has a complete stereo signal path...
