What amp to get for Dahlquist DQ12's?


I've recently acquired a pair of Dahlquist DQ12's that have been fully restored. They sound great, but I'm currently running them through a basic Yamaha htr-5550 receiver. This receiver is rated at 75wpc, and I'm not sure this is enough to sufficiently power the DQ12's.

I'm currently debating whether I should just build a pure stereo system primarily for listening to vinyl, or whether I should continue to keep up a DTS/Dolby surround system for movies. That being said, I'd love to hear suggestions for what I should get to power these babies.

That is, what should I get as a pure stereo amp to power these?

and,

What should I get to power these that will also decode movie audio?

Thanks!

I don't have experience with DQ-12s, however, I do have experience with the DQ-12's big brother the DQ-20 and the DQ-20 likes warm sounding electronics either tube or solid state.
