Best Amp with Magnepan 3.6's

Greetings - I currently own a pair of Magnepan 3.6's and am looking for any suggestions on an amp that would help me get the volume/sound I am missing.
My current systems is as follows:
Magnepan 3.6's
Rotel 1057 preamp
Rotel 1080 (200x2) amp
NAD 525BEE CD player
JL audio F110 sub
Transparent interconnects, and cables
As you can imagine I am not getting near the volume I would expect out of these 3.6's because of the limited power of my Rotel amp. I have researched different amplifiers and have it narrowed down to 2 (although I'm still open to suggestions). I've been looking into a Bryston 4B SST or a McIntosh MC402.
I would greatly appreciate any input or suggestions you may have. Thanks in advance.

Can't go wrong with Wyred 4 Sound class D amp.
I use the SX-1000's monoblocks with my 1.6 Magnepan's and it's excellent. Very tube like sound with excellent bass, mids, highs and sound stage. Black background.

I used the Krell 400xi with my 1.6's and the 400xi sounded good. I upgraded to the Wyred 4 Sound SX-1000 monoblocks and I can't believe how great the music sounds now. All aspects have improved.
