I don't think anyone here will tell you "receiver power is all we will ever need or want", just that "receiver power sounds pretty good for now and we can always add a big-ass amplifier later"

The other point, I guess, is that speakers and room acoustics are going to have more impact on listening enjoyment than the electronics, at least until you get into larger rooms where you really need the extra power, so we are all going to tend to spend money there first.
