HT Receiver with 200 WPC?

HT receivers have become so good that I'm re-tinking my
setup AGAIN. Last year, I was using a Anthem AVM20 pre/pro
with a Sherbourn 7/2100A amp. WOW, sounded absolutely incredible. Then came Blu-Ray. The Anthem doesn't decode any of the new audio formats. So I sold the Anthem, and bought the Pioneer Elite SC-07 receiver to use as the pre/pro. Sounds even better. Today I decided to unhook the Sherbourn amp (200)wpc and try the amps in the Pioneer 140wpc. WOW, it sounds I'd guess 90% as good as the Pioneer Sherbourn combination. So now I'm thinking that if I could find a Receiver with 200wpc I'd be back in HT heaven and banking a windfall from the sales of the existing gear. Bank, Right! I'd have some extra coin to throw at upgrading something.
Any help would be appreciated.

As mentioned, try Sunfire. As far as I know Sunfire is the only receiver out there with 200w/ch. Another idea is the NAD T785. Not 200w/ch but every indication is it seems like it. The NAD also has the new audio formats.
