Help Need Recommendation on Amp Configuration

Have a Marantz 2230.

Problem #1-- have two TT (Technics 1600MKII and 1650 stacker)
in addition to CD player

Problem #2 Want to use speakers that require 90+ watts RMS.

Know I can use a pre-amp on one TT and plug into tape or aux jack. Other TT into phono jack.

What kind of amp configuration would you recommend so I can use 2230 for radio and TT(?) and still run higher power speakers.

Money is an issue. Call this an Audiophile Intro set-up....thanks

You hit nail on head.

I play music at low volume levels.
Want enough power that is still sounds great
at 25% of volume--loud talking!

Have been told that with the 30wpc need to stick to speakers with 90dcb efficiency or will lose the sweet spot.

Was thinking about B&W 650s and they are right at 90 (ones only audiophile store in town recommends and No jack for a subwoofer on the old 2230.
Hence, my uncertainty....
