Buy cheap or go deep on amp for Yammy?

[zipper]

I've been looking at amps for a while & have considered many.I'll probably end up spending more than I want to,but I'm trying to exercise some restraint.I've looked at the Outlaw M200's @ $574(a pair delivered) but have a question.Their site says they are "class A/B/*".Up to 80 watts they are class A/B,then they switch to class *.I'm guessing at that point they turn into a high voltage amp which I've heard gives a cheap,bright sound.Can anyone clarify this? Outlaw says they have 20kuf caps in them which is probably close to what my yammy 3300 has in it altogether.
My ultimate goal is to get 5 channels amped,although I'll start with 2.I've considered the Odyssey Stratos(150X2,$1100),which has impressive specs & has gotten rave reviews.I can also get a B&K ref 200.5 for $2200 with some interest free financing.I've also seen a levinson 100X2 for bid on Ebay,where I've been pricing quite a bit of stuff.
I'll be using the yammy as a pre. I've never done this before so I'd like some comments & advice from some of you that have.Perhaps you can tell me what I'm in store for when I make this jump as well.If I would be better off starting with a more expensive 2ch amp I'll certainly consider it.Would a B&K 125.2 be much better than the 130wpc(?) from the yammy?

Thanks to all in advance.

Don't know why but "class *" was blanked out in original post.

Take a look / listen at the Rotel RMB-1075. 5 channel amp rated at 120 watts. It has received rave reviews. I added it to my system about a month ago relegating my Pioneer Elite receiver to pre/pro status. I've been thrilled with the results, both for HT and for music listening.

I have a Yamaha 2400. I am using it as a preamp. I have two Outlaw M-200 amps connected to the main speakers and an Adcom 7605 pushing the center, surrounds and rear surrounds. I do not play loud music for long periods of time so I can not help you with that. I do, however, push the volume when I play movies, and I play a lot of movies. In that regard I have no complaints. It sounds wonderful and the Yamaha makes a great preamp.
