John Marks mentioned the Plinius Hautonga at a 'beefy' 200wpc and it comes with a phonostage. There's a few used ones on Audiogon. The lowest priced unit is listed at $2895.00 "Make Offer" or "Buy it Now" from a dealer that accepts credit cards, PayPal, Money Orders, or Checks.
I 'simplified' my system a couple years ago when we moved to a new home that lacks a dedicated listening room (unless we finish the basement). I find my 60wpc Ayre AX-7e or 100wpc Rogue Cronus Magnum to be more than sufficient for my Tannoy speakers in my home office. The Rogue has a MM phonostage and it sells for under $2500 new. The Ayre does not have a phonostage but in my case I'm not running vinyl in my present setup.
