If I understand your message correctly, you're in England, correct? And you don't have a lot of money to spend. But you want a)lots of volume, b) a great tone. and c) reliability. Well, here in the States I would agree with the "used Peavey" answer but I doubt they're as cheap in England.
Question: why do you need so much volume? Most clubs--and audiences--can't really stand that much volume, not to mention the fact you'll soon be deaf!!! (Please wear hearing protection!!)
Today's bands don't usually use insanely loud amps anymore, on some tours the big Marshall stacks are just there for looks. They'll run a small amp, mic'd, into the PA and let the sound reinforcement system take care of the volume. Or use a preamp then DI into the board.
However, if you're absolutely determined to pursue the massive volume route, get your cash together and just start hitting the used equipment shops.
