A while back, I picked up a Sherwood receiver from Radio Shack for about $100. Used it before I got my avr for home theater. It puts out 105 watts per channel. Very plain jane receiver but was able to push my M3's to ear bleeding levels. Not sure what you are looking for, but I believe they are still available at that price. Also not sure that 120 watts per channel vs. 105 watts per channel would get you much more. Hope this helps. Good luck with your hunting.
