There are tons of good choices. Couple things - the speakers you have are not the easiest to drive well. They have a minimum impedance of 3.45 ohms which means you do want an amp that is comfortably at 4 ohms. The 87.7dB SPL is efficient enough.
Especially if you listen to bass heavy music, I would want home theater type headroom. Those speakers need 125w to deliver 105dB of volume at 10'. That would be the power rating I would look for.
IMO, the best value in your price range new would be Musical Fidelity. The M5si is a darn nice integrated which will have enough headroom for the music you listen too and will be fine at 4 ohms. I think it would be a clear step up. I am an MF dealer and would be happy to work with you if you have interest.
Roksan also makes amps in this price range that I think are excellent and would be worth your time considering. The Cambridge Audio 851A is a nice unit.
In used gear, you might find a Rogue Pharaoh in that range. It is an awesome integrated. I have had the Hydra which is the 100w power amp in the same family for years..
It is tough to beat Musical Fidelity and Rogue in terms of value.
I am not a hug fan of using a separate preamp (especially a receiver) in this price range but in fairness, have no practical experience with the preamp stage in your unit and it might be just fine. Personal taste and bias there,.
