I don't see how you could create "real tube warmth" without a tube when the only reason we know what that is comes from the fact that we can't create it without a tube.
That's not to say there can't be a really excellent solid state amp - I'm absolutely certain that there are some. It just depends on what sound you're going for. I have no doubt that you can easily get a cleaner clean from solid state than from most classic tube amps - but that's also not the same as the tube amp. Duplicating the tube dirt doesn't seem a reasonable goal to me, either. It'd be a lot easier to just use the tube.
