Brian,
You cannot just drop an amp with a lot more power in and get the sound quality you were looking for, doesn't work that way there are to many factors in the equation.
Power plays it part, my B&Ws don't fully come alive until they get some power going to them. You also have to look at all the other components.
Look at this thread this is a Audiogon member that reviews them, this should tell you everything you need to know about amps. I was unsure what to get to replace my current amp and this have given me what I need to know.
These may be higher end then what you are looking for but it should point you in the right direction.

Put on a pot of coffee or Red Bull up, it's going to take awhile to get through...
