I echo @welcher analysis. It is instructive to do the calculations given your listening habit and environment to get some ball-park idea. That will tell you whether quality or quantity of watts is your limiting factor. I went from a Rotel 1572 integrated amp with 2x120 W to lower wattage Pass XA25 and sound improved.
The other question re dynamic range is frequency range your amp needs to handle. The biggest power consumption is in bass, and you can outsource that bass power requirement to dedicated sub(s).
The other question is re channel separation. One may make the argument that dual mono (or bridged) lower wattage amps is better than a bigger stereo amp. I run a Pass XA25 mentioned by @jonwolfpell and waiting for a decently priced offer to add a second one. [$5K second hand as advertised repeatedly on AG is a non-starter].
