Power amp for Mac 4100


I'm planning to run five pairs of speaker (all over my house) to a Niles SSVC-6, then to my source. 
Currently I own a Mac 4100 and am guessing I'd do better with a separated power amp? I'd continue to use the Mac as pre-amp and tuner. 

Am I crazy? What's a recommended power amp for the 4100? 
Any recommendations for a sub-woofer would also be appreciated. 
Thank you.

Hey there, 
I've been out of the country most of the summer and a bit slow on this reply. I'm working on this now, with the idea I'd leave the best two pairs of speakers on the Mac4100, then put the rest on a separate power amp. However, I'm struggling to understand how to use both the MAC power, and external power. It seems when one takes out the bridging loops from the pre-out to power in, one loses the internal power source. I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong. 

And thanks, yeah, I know the is low-brow dialogue for Audiogon. I'm thinking if I add a Mac power amp maybe I'll move into the realm of acceptability? 

Cheers!
