The problem with these numbers Spiroh is they don't include dynamic headroom. I would say for the vast majority of listeners, the power of that Denon is more than adequate. But for those who have a need for "more" power, the numbers are misleading. If one listens with 50W nominal for example to well-recorded music, the Denon would run out of power because it doesn't appear from any of the photos I've seen to have any reserves.
