i think you are giving up on tube amps too early, but that is your choice. you may not have tried enough of them to find yours. note that 40% or more of your sound is the amp. i get great breakup with my small tube amps: gibsons, fenders, sears, etc. and, they are all clean to a point.
an overdrive pedal may do the trick for you but, try all amps, including modeling amps.
play music!
