The amen break sounds like it does because it's a sample off a 1969 record by The Winstons called 'Amen, Brother'.  To recreate that sound you'd have to use a similar set up, i.e. Drum Kit, Drummer, Studio Equipment, Mics, Processing etc.  Now I'm assuming that's not likely, so therefore it'd be easier to sample the original, if that's the sound that your after, or else to create some different breaks that will have there own sound.
 
As for other well known breaks try:-
 
James Brown :- 'Funky Drummer', 'Soul Pride', 'Tighten Up', 'Cold Sweat'
Lyn Collins :- 'Think (About It)'
Bobby Byrd :- 'Hotpants'
Michael Viner's Incredible Bongo Band :- 'Apache'
Ike Turner�s Kings Of Rhythm :- 'Funky Mule'
Dennis Coffey :- 'Scorpio'
Kool And The Gang :- 'N.T.'
Skull Snaps :- 'It's A New Day'
 
There are loads more but this should do for starters,
