A couple of thoughts.
You might be getting lost in the weeds a bit with all this talk about impedance matching. The Nagaoka cartridges are MM cartridges and they should work with most any MM phono preamp. Unless you get something really exotic, most phono preamps should work with the Marantz. I have a Nagaoka MP-500.
I wouldn't go crazy on a phono preamp, the Marantz is going to be a limiting factor in terms of ultimate sound quality. You can spend a few hundred (not sure what your budget is) and get better sound quality than the built in phono pre in the Marantz, but your turntable and the Marantz are only going to take you so far in terms of sound quality. If you want to try tubes, try one of the Pro-ject offerings, or something like the Parks Puffin if you want to go solid state. I think anything beyond that might be a waste of money for your current setup.
