Can I use a SUT or head amp with my 60dB Coph Nia MC phono preamp?

Since I use a passive preamp, I am running into low gain issues with my .4mV MC cartridge (Denon DL-301 MkII) and my Coph Nia phono preamp.  The Coph Nia is marketed as a MC phono stage, with a fixed gain of 60dB.  It does have adjustable loading, however, with one of the settings being 47kohm.  So my question is whether it would be possible to use a SUT with this phono stage, and if so, what would the recommended spec be for it?  Or would I be able to use a MC head amp with adjustable gain, such as the Rothwell Headspace (with 4 gain settings between 10dB and 27dB)?  I know there are other head amps out there as well, I just use that one as an example.  

I appreciate the input and education!

I would contact Rothwell also, he is very helpful and perhaps
could even mod a low output version to your requirements.

He often chimes in on technical matters on another site and
if he thinks you should go another route he will say so.
