Bigger amps in an enclosed cabinet?

I currently have a Plinius integrated that is enclosed in a
home theatre-style cabinet, similar to, say, a Salamander triple.
I've never had any problems with it getting too hot, or being too heavy (I'll keep the cabinet door open during use.)

I am intrigued with upgrading to a bigger, heavier amp, such as one of the larger Plinius amps , or one of the Pass units
(x150.5 or x250.5. )

Given that these amps all run in the 80-120lb range (2-3x the Plinius integrated) and they no doubt generate a lot more heat, am I ok with placing an amp like that in the same space?

Each manufacturer should clearly explain in their literature if their equipment has any special ventilation needs. Many have their owners manuals available online or will answer questions if you email them.

As such, I'd suggest your get your info straight from the horse's mouth.
