I'd normally spec Bel Cantos, but the budget will not bear them in this case. Essentially I need 3 high quality Class D Mono block amplifiers [for heat and power use reasons] to refit an existing system. They need to be 4ohms stable and provide 200-300watts and balanced inputs. Surprisingly, I'm not having much luck finding anything like the Bel Cantos.
Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks for the good suggestions, guys. I don't have current retail pricing on Bel Canto, but the amps purchased in 2013 were $2K for 500W Monoblock.

2k for a 500watt monoblock sounds alarmingly cheap to me. You want it even less?

That price was in 2013...Not sure what they're going for now. The Wyred4Sound stuff costs less...Looks like a viable option.

Emotiva will let you sign up as a dealer, though no experience with that.

Parasound Halo A23 bridges to 400x1, but not class The amps to be replaced are currently located in three different cabinets [Left, Center, Right]. The bigger issue is that there is only a 15 amp circuit feeding the entire [large] system and, thus, power efficient amplifiers are required. I love the Parasound line, but cannot make those work in this case.

+1 for Parasound here as well. Premium performance at an upper mid-fi price.

How about Audio Control Rialto? Doesn't have balanced inputs, but artclean boxes fix that.
