How do you amp your system?

Curious as to the various ways people here are amplifying their various speakers. Assuming 5.1 or 7.1 in most theaters, with a .1 amplified on it's own, is there a prevailing wisdom?

Front 3 amped the same, lower standards for surrounds?

Each channel amped the same?

One amp handling all speakers, or duties divided between multiple (presumably lower power) amps?

I know better than to ask 'what's best' since there is no 'best', but I'm curious as to the various viewpoints...

I have a dedicated analog tube powered two channel system so I'm quite satisfied with a receiver based 7.1 home theater.

I wanted the HT to be as simple as possible. Since there was no substitute for the Pioneer Kuro plasma I went with all Pioneer Elite, matched Triangle Comets, and an Earthquake subwoofer.
