mcintosh MC 7270 or mc 7200

I am narrowing things down to several mac amps. I have a C39 pre, klipschorns. I am currently running tubes but have always loved the mcintosh gear. I had a MX132 and did like that but tubes took over. Now, I am staring a second system and have some mad money to play with. Once again, just looking for thoughts and opinions.

Woah, 200-270 wpc into Khorns! Good grief I have a 6 WPC OTL amp with these speakers in a fairly large room and anything over 10:00 on my volume control (with CD's, vinyl anything over 12:00) will make my ears bleed. Am I missing something here, these speakers have a sensitivity of about 104db?
