Using step up / down transformers?

Is there any sonic or functional detriment to using a step up or step down transformer to run a Japanese or European amplifier at North American voltages? If not, doing this would open up a lot of opportunities...

Nope.  As others have written though, make sure to size the transformer appropriately or oversized. :)

Not too much oversized though.  30% more VA than you need is a good amount.
