Your amplifier stage or current-control loop needs an NPN that actually pushes 15A without cooking itself. The TIP3055 delivers 90W dissipation at 60V collector-emitter in a compact SOT-93 footprint. Silicon die, black case, Hfe between 20 and 70 at 25°C with a 4A bias reference. Solder it in, add the heatsink your layout calls for, and that sagging output is gone
