Check out the Wyred-4-Sound stereo and monoblock amps. They are 1140wpc into 4Ohms and are within your budget with some change left over.
If you are not into audio-jewelry, they may just be the ticket. Good sound, good power, good reviews, good reputation, good support, good warantee and factory direct. You could start out with 2-channels of these and later biamp with the same or something different on top.
Wyred-4-Sound mods the ASP-1000 boards such that they do not sound like the vanilla ASP-1000 in a box versions. They also add an input buffer to make them easier driven by preamps. I own both types and prefer the W4S implementation much better than the vanilla version.
I currently have a pair driving the bass panels of my 20.1's. I tied a pair driving the whole speakers and they did a nice job (as well as the 3.6's).
They are also easy on your electric bill being @ 80% efficient.
Good luck on your choice. If you have that large of a venue, I would go for the 20.x's over the 3.6's.

Tim
