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.

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.
This receiver also does 4k at 120hz. It's a big deal if you have the latest gaming consoles, there is a lag if you plug directly into your TV as many, TVs don't pass through lossless sound. It's well documented and those that don't notice it, just haven't done there own testeding while using pass through Atmos.
If you want more watts per a channel you'll need spend a lot more money, over a grand to get the 130w your looking for. That's why this receiver for this price is a good deal. I'll purchase this and get rid of my Denon x3500H for the 4k 120hz and VRR processing.

I don't game. Perhaps I'm in the minority. I invested in nicer OLED TV's that I believe do pass-thru, for my son's gaming, but it's not my hobby.
Although I own a bluray player, we stream 100% of our content through cable/Netflix/HBO Max etc. Can't remember the last time I popped-in a DVD. Similar to music, I've given up on physical media...streaming is just too dang convenient, even if lower quality. Better processing of streaming MP3 music would be a better investment for me, rather than the capability of adding 12 channels of speakers...at least to me.

If you can, since it seems like you do care about sound, I'd implore you to watch a Blu-ray movie for the lossless then compare it to steaming. It's very noticeable. Even my wife who says she could careless, will ask "why does the sound of the movie sound muddy" when we stream movies.
Lossless vs the highly compressed sound of streaming is big difference.
For optimum performance, input the video source directly into the TV. There is no pre-outs for the main and center channels. This should not be a problem for an average room with speakers rated at +89dB sensitivity. A more robust amplification section would be ideal. Unfortunately, most mainstream consumer products today are geared toward bells and whistles.

Perhaps for those blockbuster movies worth the investment (Top Gun etc.). I'll give it a try though, open to persuasion.
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.
I'm familiar w/ power, impedance, speaker sensitivity, placement, peak vs. nominal power, power rated for 1 channel driven vs. all channels driven. Let's assume I've factored all of that, my preference is for a receiver designed w/ quality components, more elaborate techniques to isolate noise, amplifier modules that don't all share one transformer, rated wattage at 1 channel driven, but noisy as heck when driving all channels simultaneously, etc.
I want a receiver I can play vinyl on 2ch when I want, but also movies on 7 ch's with a lossless codec. I don't however need 10 ch's, ability to stream music independently, pass through 8k content or other gimmicks. But that's just me.

We watched the 7th episode of the Rings of Power last night which includes Dolby Atmos so yes it can help with streaming.
Just because it says "Atmos" doesn't necessarily mean better.
Object based codecs are built on top of the core 5/7.1 codec.
Like speaker based surround, placement & quality of speakers plays a major role on how well it will sound.
Some receivers include simulation "codecs" that will let you utilize "Atmos" speakers with non "Atmos" content.
As far as all that description you gave regarding power, if you believe reading all that tells how good or bad something sounds, yes I agree with you that's your choice.
Good thing for you is if that's all you need from a receiver(7 channels) you can buy used, which will cost you much less and put you in a much higher tier receiver.
