That's funny, I have lots of 'dream guitars' for different reasons, like played by an artist I admire, or look especially great, or does a cool special thing, etc, but I never had that relationship with amps.
After my shitty Marshall MG30dfx I bought when I was 15, I bought a Vox AC4 more than ten years ago, sounds great but the quietest overdriven sound is already too loud for playing by yourself in an apartment and the loudest setting doesn't keep up with a drummer.
I rarely use it as at home : I play either unplugged or in my DAW with the bajillion possibilities of amp sims, and when I rehearse with other musicians I'm perfectly OK with the random basic loud amps of rehearsal spaces. And also the pocket-sized orange microcrush that lives on my bench has a nice little fun sound, especially on headphones.
To me amps are just heavy things that makes a guitar loud, not something to dream about. Maybe I haven't played a great one !
