Grados don't need much power, but they need an amp with low output impedance, a low noise floor, and very low gain.

There are tube amps that can do this, but not for $150-200.

There are, however, lots of solid state amps that will do just fine on your headphones within your budget. Hybrid amps are also something to look at, but do be sure not to buy a hybrid that runs on a low voltage wall wart.
