I am afraid the amps you have are underpowered for your Maggies. The specs you provided indicate that the power supplies are a bit anemic (typical of receivers) and will run out of steam and probably clip when push comes to shove. A 200W @ 8ohm amplifier should be sufficient but even more important than the actual power rating is the ability to double down (produce double the watts at 4 ohms compared to 8).
As Slapshot says, your journey is just beginning. AndyR has spent most of his adult life upgrading and improving his Maggies.
