17. Nxg7
Logical move, maintaining the pressure against Black.

 
17... Reg8
The threat of a potential doubling of the black rooks on the h column seems now to complicate things for White.

 
18. Bf5
After analyzing this move for some time, days after the game, I'm not so sure if this was better than 18.Nf5 or 18.Nxe6. Honestly I need to look deeply at all the ramifications.

18... Bxf5 19. Nxf5 Ne4
?? This move totally ignores the fork on e7, which destroys the possibility of a rook-doubling on h.

20. Ne7+
Overwhelming material advantage after 20...Kd8, 21.Nxg8 Rxg8, 22.Kxh2. I enjoyed this game as this player was rated over 250 points higher than me (at GK rating system, though), and at the time he was second on the tournament and I was 10th.
