If you are looking for HOT HOT HOT dryers then you should buy some 15 or 20 year old SpeedQueen single pocket dryers - they exactly meet your specification.
If you want good economical dryers that are usually hot enough and not energy hogs then try the new Wasco TD30/30 or ADC-236.
I have found that my new wasco td-3030 dryers are extremely hot to the touch on the glass door, I worry about small kids touching the lower ones. (I have lowered the temperatures twice to about 152 , it was factory set at 160 on high.) I don't understand hot they can dry faster, be hotter, and still use fewer btu's. I'm not complaining, I'm just puzzled, ther seems to be no logic to it. Unfortunately, I have no way of comparing the gas usage, because I increased capacity, and there are other uses of gas on the same meter. Gas usage is up, so is dryer usage, but so is money !

I bought more Dexter stacks this year. In one mat I put in more make up air also, as I had all singles and made 1/2 them stacks.
They get so hot it scares me, I lowered the temp down. Even the single SQ slimlines are hot. So hot I had a lady call me a month ago to tell me she burned her arm on the drum when she reached in for her clothes. Be carefull what you ask for!

I have Dexter Stacks and ADC236. Adc236 is the way to go. They both dry in the same amount of time and are HOT. The Dexters have been more problematic, fenwalls ignitors are crap,shaft wears, pain to change belt,computer is confusing for customers,one coin drop. The ADC 236 has a simple superior design, greater reliabilty,great factory support. Dexter is aware of the problems and refuses to make any changes.
Good Luck
If you are replacing 20 yearold singles, customers are going to complain for about a month regardless of what machine you put in.
