As w/ any subjective opinions, such as wine or other things, if it's good to you, that's all that matters. As some have noted, wattage/power is relevant as far sound pressure levels relating to the efficiency of your speakers and the size of your room. If you're in an apartment/condo, no sense in trying to create theater-level sound levels. Good enough is good enough.
My rants are simply an effort to point out to anyone interested, the value proposition of recent models and where they focus, and whether the value is there for some but not for others. If it's a fit, buy it.

Upgrade audio but it's sounded and worked fine for me and no issues for the handful of years I've had it second hand. Thoughts?
Great price but still if what I got already works…. I know there's better audio formats than DD5.1 now on blu rays and UHD but isn't lots of stream service apps DD5.1 max still?
Are there any other significant differences between the Onkyo and Denon?
I actually haven't opened my Onkyo or set it up, so I'm debating if I should get the Denon instead to save $100 considering the store 5 miles away has it. I know I would miss the dual HMI output but I could live without it by using a HDMI switchbox or splitter.

So for basic sound quality & performance, this receiver puts out 75W per channel, which I'd say is pretty anemic. Since it's supposed to be for 7 channels, perhaps that's plenty, but for those wanting to toggle to stereo listening with nicer tower speakers up front, this won't cut it.
I'd much prefer the earlier Denon AVR receivers that focused on their amplification and put out 130+ watts to 5 or 7 channels, and stopped at the lossless codecs, rather than this Atmos silliness.
If you don't need those new features there is no reason to get a new receiver.
Object based codecs(Atmos & DTS:X) is the next evolution in sound, the caveat is you have to have the versatility & money(not cheap) to take full advantage of it IMO.
As far as power you are looking at ONE factor of many on whether you need it so those numbers are almost useless to worry about them.
If you're worried about sound quality you should look at the quality of your speakers, they are the ones that play the biggest role in producing it.
Hope that helps and good luck.

Thee biggest drawback from streaming is the AQ, there is a significant drop in quality with it.
