If you can possibly manage it, you should attend the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest in Denver July 30, Oct 1 and 2.

I too would suggest a demo of the Ayre V-5xe. It's 150W rating seems modest. I'm using 85db monitors and the Ayre handles them with ease. I think there's a reason you don't often see them for sale.. Nrchys next to last sentence pretty much sums it up though :)

I would highly recommend any of the Symphonic Line.
They are outstanding and truly Musical with also nice bottom end as well, plus very smooth at top end with awesome mids.
