Thanks all for the responses!
Millercarbon - I get your point and perhaps using $$$ as the base of my question was the wrong approach.
But I think we can all agree it would be silly to have Magicos driven by a generic Best Buy receiver or conversely Pass XS separates driving satellite speakers made of particle board.
My query was trying to find that balance of when to upgrade what as my personal opinion is the power is making a bigger difference to my ears right now.
Thanks again for the thoughts.
