I have this setup, and I don't find it bloated. I don't know where the standard is, but it's rather pretty tight bass to me. I think 800mW at 32ohm with strong current has something to do with it. LDI+ is a hybrid amp with tube preamp and opamp.
Have you compared your setup to a comparable solid state rig? My Denons have sounded good on only the best tube amps and even then my SS amp handily beats them. Tube amps are suited for open/semi or orthos headphones.
