Amp recommendations: Wanted, Bass and Dynamics
The reason you are lacking dynamics and punch is probably your preamplifiers fault. Passive preamps (especially ones that are not state-of-the-art) many times limit dynamics and resolution and bass and trebble response (one can also run into imped... 
Shunyata Anaconda VX or Elrod III?
Elrod 3 Signature or Kimber Palladium PK10Either is as good or better than the Annaconda VX IMHO.I have compared the VX to the Palladium in a reference system, and the Palladiums are as good or better. I think the Elrod 3 Signature is a slightly b...

A to D to SACD to A: A Natural Progression?

Amp choice for VA Mahlers
Go for the GamuT D200 mk2.Spend extra $$$ on a nice AC cord.I would suggest a Kimber Palladium PK10 if you can afford it o a BMI Shark or a VD Nite w/SOL.These cords are not cheap, but will make your GamuT sound a lot better. The D-200 with a stoc... 
Amp choice for VA Mahlers
The D-200 is a great amp for driving the Mahlers. I have Mahlers being driven by the D-200 amp. My center channel is driven by my receiver. I have not invested in a center channel amp. Personally, I think matching amps for HT is over rated. Matchi...

Maggie 3.6 vs. Talon Khorus?
I had the 3.6's for about 3 years.Amplification makes all the difference in the world with the Maggies. They are 89db sensitive and not easy to drive. The more power/amperage you can feed them, the better they tend to sound. Very few 100 wpc amps ...
