Dynaudio Sapphire - Amplifier matching


I have these lovely built Dynaudios in Burgundy. They are rated 300 Watts at 4 Ohm. I drive them with 2 Monoblocks AVM M30, rated 232 Watt at 4 Ohm each. Situated in the lounge, size 35m2.
Is the power rating of the AVM´s sufficient to take the best out of the Dynaudios? 
I use a Benchmark DAC3 HGC as preamp. I was considering of combining them with 2 Benchmark AHB2 in Monoblock mode to give them more juice. Would that make a significant difference to the AVM Monoblocks?

Will appreciate your guidance.

No they are not. The Dynaudio sapphires are incredible speakers but you will never know unless you feed them enough clean power. Dynaudios need a lot of power, almost twice what they are rated for. I drive a pair of 200w rated Dynaudio Contour 3.0’s using a double balanced solid state push pull amp that is rated 350w per channel and can exceed that effortlessly, I can easily drive them well over there 200w rating. The Sapphires are rated at 300 watts, I would be driving those with 500 watt mono blocks or at least a 450w solid state 2 channel amp. No tube amps for these speakers either they want solid state power.
