I still have an old NAD 701 receiver that I keep as a spare. I have also owned the C320BEE and C350 integrated amps. Only the 701 has the rich warmth you are searching for. The C320BEE did not have it. The C350 sounded smoother than the C320BEE and was definitely more powerful than the 701. There are people who refurbish old NAD amps. Maybe you should see if your receiver can be refurbished.
I replaced my 701 with the combination of a G1217 Project Sunrise used as a preamp and a SMSL TPA3116 amp. This combo has all of the tonal richness of the 701 receiver but is more transparent and images better.
