What the scientific peer review needs is not anonymity, but accountability. Authors put their reputation on the line. Let reviewers put their reputation on the line too. Good reviews and good reviewers need to be appreciated, not anonymized.

Let valued scientific reviewers gain reputation in a similar way to how contributors to HN, SE and other sites do.

There could even be a viable business model in this. Publishers, be creative!
