Why Don't We See More High Current Electronics?

It seems that in looking around for amplifiers and integrated amps that double their power as the impedance is halved (high current), they seem to be in a minority. Is it just more costly to build good-sounding high current electronics and the market demand for them just isn't there, or what?

There's a Marantz SM-11 power amp in the listings right now for $2K even (original list $4600). 110W into 8 ohms, 220W into 4 ohms, 101dB S/N ref 1W into 8 ohms. This seems to meet the OP's requirements. I recently acquired one of these myself, along with the matching preamp, and am very happy with it.
