Some years ago, I moved my 3.7s into a ~220sq' bedroom and drove them with my Marantz PM-11S1 integrated that's rated at 100wpc into 8 ohms, but it does double into 4 ohms. I was shocked at the terrific bass the 3.7s produced in that room - no need for a sub.
When I emptied my equipment rack for a good cleaning last week, I decided to install a stripped down, 2-channel system centered around that integrated amp in my ~600sq' room. The 3.7s sound wonderful and I can play the system as loudly as I care to these days with absolutely no sign of strain from the amp.
