I use a Dave Hall Amps tube pre-amp/DI thing for warming up my tone before going through not particularly inspiring amps; it really does the trick for me & is a much cheaper option than buying a whole new amp.
Though now I'm the only person in my band using an old solid state amp I do kind of want to splash out on a monster full-valve head. It's a slippery slope.

That is a rather interesting option and may well be what I'm looking for. Will investigate, thanks!
I'd like to break up my sound from the very, very clean and neutral sound I'm running at the moment to something a little more gritty. Maybe a preamp will do the trick.I actually own a Peavey TB Raxx preamp (2x 12ax7 I think) but I never quite got on with the sound, as it's very mid-ish and honky.
On further investigation:
These DHA look a little DIY. I wouldn't mind some soldering myself, do you per chance know if there's any DIY tube preamp kit around?
