Well, I would say that more power would be a good thing.
I have a pair of Magnepan MG-1.6QR's in a smaller room than yours and I'm feeding them about 50 tube watts/channel and cutting off the low bass below 80Hz to further free up amp power. I play at moderate levels and my feeling is that I am clipping the amp on powerful musical peaks and crescendos on 10 to 20 percent of my recordings.
I discern clipping as a slight loss of clarity, possibly accompanied by a little hardness on power peaks.
I am going to buy an amp of about double the power and hopefully I will get by with that.
When tube amps clip, they clip "softly" and generally will not blow out your speakers. But when solid-state amps clip, they clip more harshly and will easily burn out tweeters and sometimes midrange units.
If you play your system loudly in your size room I can almost guarantee that you are clipping your amp a lot more often than you think. My advice would be to buy an amp of at least double the power rating you now have. That way, you'll not only get a bit better sound, but you'll lessen the likelyhood that your speakers could be harmed by clipping distortion.
Good luck to you.
