The receiver should be fine with the Maggies. While Maggies do like a lot of power, those are small ones. You should be okay there.
Now when you go off the deep end for bigger ones, which you will, it's nice to have preamp outs on the receiver so you can just sub in another amp.
The Mac at 50 wpc is clearly not going to have the power for bigger panels.The Adcom, nah. I've found that while Adcom preamps like the GFP 565 can be really nice, the amps tend to flat and boring. I'm overgeneralizing there but there are a lot of used power amps out there. Enjoy what you have for a bit before you join the amp of the month club.
Your newly found sickness, and that's what it is, is not easily cured.Best of luck there. Remember though, you could be drinking, gambling, or chasing Women...
