Dub, welcome. Forget any "strong receiver" nonsense; there's very little difference in maximum power output between say the 508 and 608(about 1dB in maximum sound level, e.g., 105dB vs 104dB on brief peaks). If by "potential" is meant the potential to play loud enough to damage your hearing, a separate amplifier with a maximum output of hundreds of watts should be considered.

Enjoy the music, not the equipment.
