DIY experts needed... SUT for Bellari VP129

Guys...as stated in an earlier thread I want to move to a Denon 103/103R cartridge.
What I`m using now is a Bellari VP129 phono stage, fed directly into my amp. Nothing else is in the way.
Listening level in my room could be called moderate...MAYBE (and that`s when the dial is turned all the way up).

And that`s with a Sumiko BPS EVO III @ 2.5mv.

When I change over to one of the Denons
I`d like to have some more power, a little more volume available when I want it but still leave the system as is with the exception of the step up.

So...can anyone tell me how to go about this if I go the Cinemag type route??
I`m clueless as to what I`ll need to allow me more flex ability.
Thanks in advance,
Steve

It`s my understanding that the Bellari has 30 db in it. What would the 1:36 version do with the low output 103s?
No way that can work with what I have now?

I`m using a 270 watt Behringer EP1500, it has adjustable control knobs for left/right on the front panel.
I have them set full tilt wide open right now.

With that feature wouldn`t it allow a bit more adjustability ?

Restock..you mentioned "...overdrive the Bellari" what would that mean?
Would it make it hyper-sensitive, like way too loud right off?
What or how much is the EVO III putting out after the Bellari using your math and how would that equate to the Denons ?
You can dumb it down if need be, might be easier for me to follow along.

And do you think I can accomplish what I hoped to do ?

So the EVO III, right now, as it sits puts out LESS than what the Denons would using an SUT @ 1:36 ?
