Dont piss around just get the Texas Star 500 non variable and run that S9 into it that 40 watts isnt going to hurt it aslong as you keep the amplifier cool meaning AD A FAN there cheap and make the difference between life and death of an amplier Ive run my HF rigs into my Texas Star 500's with power between 40 and 50 watts SSB but AM back it way down 2-4 watts dead key ide stay around 2--3 watts and 20-25 watts forward swing.

i got with a FaTBoY 4pill with either 2290s or 2879s
or a DaveMade 4pill also with the same transistor complement

and this way you already have your magnum S-9 all setup and wont have to go back and turn it down and will already have a fan built in.

Yeah and I never thought about it but if your an AM user only then a class C amplifier would be your best bet you would most likely save a little money if going that route aswell if you are not a SSB user and dont care how SSB sounds or
its not of importance.
