Beginner Amp for near or under 200..

Hello all, I'm in the market for an amp after the one I grew up on busted on me. I'll be using it for vinyl and (gasp!) playing cds I have archived on my computer. I'm looking for as good an amp as I can get for around 200 dollars. It's important that it can get rather loud, with a headphone output as well, as I play drums and often practice with cd's and records. Any suggestions?

I got a refurbished Harmon Kardon HK3470 100wpc receiver from harmanaudio.com for $188. Sounded nice for the money. Slightly lacking in bass depth and weight and highs had an artifical sheen on complex harmonics like violin. In the range of Teac or Creek 4330 for a lot less money.

Don't know about headphone output jack.
