You can buy kits or start with really good PCB's for a nice affordable diy amp, which will teach you a lot. Restoring something vintage will also teach you much as you go along!
Just depends on the efficiency of your speakers & room size to determine the size of amp needed , and smaller SE & PP (like EL84 or 6V6 output tubes) can sound great for not much $ compared to the big amps!
You might try and listen to SE & PP to see the difference if you can.
