My mom plays the violin (or fiddle, as it's called down here). She just recently decided to amplify hers. She uses a Fender Frontman 15G and it works just fine. I don't think there's really no need for tubes in this situation. But then again, I don't know crap about the violin, hehe.

I have played both an electric Alvarez and an acoustic with an after market pickup. I started out using a Peavy Bandit 65 guitar amp and never could get the sound I wanted. Always to much treble. One day I ran the Alvarez through our bass players Peavy TNT 130 and decided a bass amp was the way to go.
