I have the Benz ACE M like you and still do. When I was using it mated with the Wright WPP100C, I used K&K Audio (Lundahl L9206)step up trannie. The trannie can be hardwired into 1:5 (14 dB), 1:10 (20dB), and 1:20 (26dB) depending on your application. Info can be found here:

and their exclusive forum if you have some concern that needs some addressing is here:

I do not use a trannie anymore but I still have it. My Supratek preamp has a lot of gain so the trannie becomes un-necessary. I kept it because it sounds great to me and hoping that someday I can use it again. Mine is not for sale BTW.
Check the links above. This might work for you.
If you can stretched your budget a little more, here's another one:

Although the Bent cost more money.
Both of the step up trannies are more than adequate for the job and sounds great from my experience.
Happy holidays!
