I'd probly say a bogner uberschall. That thing is a monster, it has such a thick low end with a super saturated distortion. I've never played thru one, but I've been to some shows where the guitarists played thru one and it sounded sick.

For real world amps, I'd have to say one of the Recto's or a H&K Triamp.
For mucking about and getting weird tones, the super-pissed title has to go to an old Silvertone I picked up at a garage sale. It's got a single 6v6 driving a 6" speaker, but when being pushed by an EMG 85 w/ a PA-2 boost, nothing can tough that tone. It's fizzy, spitty, and fuzzy in a cool lo-fi way. It doesn't sound big by any stretch, and I don't imagine using that tone very often, but it doesn't get much meaner than that little amp being driven hard.

Re: What is the most aggressive, pissed off sounding amp you can think of?
actually, there aint no better amp to describe what you said than an 80's hybrid Peavey Classic or heritage 2X12 combo. Its just brutal-no refinement. Its angry unsophisticated and pissed! Other newer high gain amps are too refined. they are pissy, not pissed off.Try one of these old classic beasts with a Floyd Rose Superstrat! there... Ive given away my secret!

Any High Gain Engl can sound super pissed off and aggressive, because of the sheer amounts of gain and high end available,and all that while retaining low end punch to the max.

Gibson Lab Series amps....because if I sounded that bad when driven, I'd be pissed off too. B.B. played through them, and to me his later tone suffered because of his use of those amps. When we opened for him, he sounded like crap through those things

I am sure there are a lot of them, and Rectos sound pretty mean, but Mesa has always had such a beautiful underlying voicings that I have to say the the Peavey Triple X is a little more pissed off sounding. It is more raw and angry sounding to the point that it is hard to get a sweet sound out of it. I haven't owned a lot of the other amps mentioned

agressive and pissed off sounds to me its not a volume thing, but more of a charchter of high gain. Something that's just roars and squeals like a chained beast, over that response to anything that a pick does on the string, in this sense of agressive and pissed off I would have to go with my collegue in metal medicine, Kavorkian, its a major +1 for 5150, just think about that's the amp that started that whole scandinavian satanic tone thing ...

+1 on that Model T. the band Goatsnake used those amps exclusively and it's what i'd call 'perfect distortion.'
