I mainly listen to my music on the go, so my answer is obviously a portable amp.
If I could have only 1 amp it would either be the Qables iQube or the Headstage Arrow.
Don't you think you'd have more success in the portable amps forum?
I started with portable as well....
then i moved to full size for home listening, and i love the synergy between my HD650's and my HA-160.

My RSA B52 (with good tubes), no question. The sound is beautiful (especially when it warms up).

The Moth Audio Si2A3. It runs what is just about my favorite tube (the 2A3), powers all of my headphones and I can hook the K-1000 to the speaker taps on the back. It'll run efficient speakers, too. I had the ESS AMT-1s connected for a bit - just wonderful to have so much versatility from an amp that sounds so remarkably good.

Headamp GSX
Either GHP V9, SPL Auditor or Trafomatic Head one. I know I would be happy with the first two. The Trafomatic I haven´t got yet. I do need it´s sub out and dual inputs plus pre amp functionability so I am cheering for that one lol
