"Fattin' Frogs For Snakes." G.E. Smith did a nice version.  
Both preamp and power amp have volume controls. Preferred method to control volume levels?
Treat the power amp as a "rough tune" and the preamp as a "fine tune." Start with power 9-11 o'clock with pre zeroed out. Turn slowly and see what happens.

Upgraded speakers matched to the room. Upgraded amp matched to the speakers. Leave 10-15% of the budget for new cables.
