Joshl,
Which Arcam Integrated do you own? Many of the Arcams have an HT bypass/processor loop, which when engaged passes the signal through without being affected by the pre-amp circuit at all.
Also, some integrated amps have passive pre-amps and you could simply use one of the regular inputs and turn the volume all the way up. This would "practically" be a power amp as the passive pre-amp is simply the volume control potentiometer. BTW, if you are considering the Jolidas, look at the Cayin TA-30 (it is "killer" in its price range). I'm currently using one as a power-amp (I have the volume turned all the way up) as my CD player has analog domain volume control and it it controlled by the remote. This setup allows me remote volume control in a system that has an amp that doesn't have remote.
Enjoy,
TIC
