The CV5 with 6111 fits that description (a bit dry) but so does the Oriolus BA300S with the same tubes so... did you try the CV5 with other tubes?
I missed the Oriolus BA-10 altogether... but it's not a tube amp is it?
I hadn't heard of HP-V1 before, 6N16B-Q tubes... maybe can be found for CV5?
Bear in mind that most of the amps in discussion are hybrids, so they shouldn't necessarily be expected to sound the tubey-est. (There are all-tube (trans)portable amps, but they're more obscure and largely more expensive, as well as huge: Woo WA-8, Analog Squared Paper TU-05, Phatlab Phantasy.)
