That driver is basically ATCs 3" mid with a cone glued to it.
Obviously the basket has been changed but the motor assembly (and therefore largely the weight) remains the same.
I am not surprised about the amps at all.
If you play them at 95dBspl average which is reasonably loud you are using 10W.
Now add in the 12-20dB of headroom needed to prevent the amps from sounding strained you would need an amp capable of 200-1000W. Lo and behold the two amps you tried which sounded best were the two which fell into that range.
It is all well and good talking about the quality of watts one is feeding ones speakers but if an amp clips even for short periods all its watts are c**p.
