Poll: What's your KT150 bias set to per tube (ma?)
Amps are of different designs, stay within manufacturers specification. Sometimes a tad lower if tube life is suffering.  
Dream vs. Reality - What have you bought?
"...What systems have you heard that really seemed worth outrageous fortunes..."Infinity Servo Static 1A, tri-amplified system. Various others. At the time I though it was pretty good but I'm sure the Sanders Electrostats or the Sound Lab big pane... 
Powering Old Infinity towers with Peachtree 125 sky-- with analog EQ

Powering Old Infinity towers with Peachtree 125 sky-- with analog EQ
Running the loudspeakers in parallel might work but I'd be concerned about the low impedance at that point. Maybe call Peachtree? 
Broken ground phono connection
or any screw terminal you can buy, not a hard job if you can solder.  
Is louder better?
No, it's just louder, that's all.  
All record weights the same ?
"...A good record weight is 180 grams..."I see what you did there. What's a record weight weigh?  
Pass, Bryston or Accuphase for Magnepans?
"...Bryston or Sanders..."I support this message.  
Bi Wire Question
"...Did I say I was looking for more power?..."No, you didn't, nor did you tell us the reason you want to use bi-wire and both taps. I was just guessing. Still am. If you run both taps on most receivers, it will run the amp at half the impedance. ... 
Bi Wire Question
If you are looking for more power, get a more powerful amp (or very efficient loudspeakers). Doing what you are suggesting is not going to give you the results you are looking for.  
Pass, Bryston or Accuphase for Magnepans?
I can't really help but Magnepan does demo with big Brystons unless that has changed. As far as the D'Agostino is concerned, 200 watts per channel would be enough for me but you may want or need more.  
Pass XP12. Tame, Anemic?
You need a tube preamp. Some Kimber PBJ interconnects and AQ type 4 solid copper speaker cables.  
Dream Speakers = landed. Now I need to feed them!
"...just checked the Quicksilver website. That’s a sweet pair of blocks for 1500. I might just have to find some extra cash under the cushions for those!..."I have a pair of Mini-Monos I’ve used for many years now. They are a top amp and my favori... 
Looking for speaker advice-$10-20k
You're doing it right. Listen to speakers you like and maybe have an in home trial. We can't really help if we don't know what traits you favor.
