A 15-20 watt tube amp should get ya there
Check out the Princeton and Deluxe Reverbs from Fender. Also, the Blackheart stuff is really great. I've been gigging with my little 1x12 15-watt Handsome Devil combo since I bought the amp back in '08 (I think?) and it's never let me down. I'm partial to combos rather than heads/cabs so I can't help you in that department much.
If you don't need a tube amp, try finding any of the old Jazz Chorus varieties. The clean sound is to die for and they're built to last a nuclear winter. Oh and they're loud as all hell.

I've recently been coveting the Vox AC15. My local music shop has a used one for $379, so I'm not really sure why I haven't pulled the trigger yet. I also think the Night Train looks like it's worth checking out. If money were not a concern, I'd definitely be getting an Orange. Can't go wrong with an old Fender tube amp, though...I have also been coveting a Pinceton Reverb...

the egnater rebel or tweaker sound really good and are priced pretty well. The rebels have selectable wattage making them suitable for any situation. They also have a blend knob that allows you to blend 6l6 and el34 tubes.

I would also recommend Satellite amps if you want to go a more boutique amp route...their pricing seems pretty reasonable for what they are.

I own one and am about to buy 3 more, they are fantastic little amps and boy are they loud for a 6" solid state, tube-sounding goodness unlike anything.

x 2 Bogner Shiva.
Great clean sound, can be very loud and takes pedals well.
Used ones are floating around for acceptable prices.
