130A machines typically have 10A plugs and a switchable TIG mode. Cigweld and UniMIG do such units and probably a bunch of others.
As for first-hand experience, I have a BOC 130A machine which has been excellent, but doesn't have a TIG mode, and BOC don't seem to offer the Smootharc machines in the smaller amperages any more.
