>Of course it's important, but how much is too much?

I've never encountered "too much". For comparison, the base Mauro design has two joules of energy storage (27,200 uF @ 12V) according to the schematic. My earlier comment was based on an implementation of that design I found that had 20 joules (60,000 uF @ 25V).

By comparison, the Stasis 3 has 105 joules and the pair of VTL amps, 500.

My experience is that high storage energy amplification provides better resolution and dynamic impact. Back in the 70s, I did some DIY work to an Audire power amp. Tripling the capacitance made a noticeable difference.

Everything is relative.
