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.

Im not sure jumping up to 9 channel "Atmos" is worth it unless you have an optimal setup with quality speakers.
I can't say I want to reduce to 5.2.2 to get atmos. So it seems if I want a single atmos pair I need a 9.2 and two pair requires 11.2.
My assumption was a 7.2 that claimed to be atmos would be able to power 7.2 plus a pair of atmos.

Atmos refers to a capability.
If you want 3 front, 2 rear, 2 back, 2 height (and 2 subs) that's a requirement for 9.2.
All that reading/talk is ONE factor of a vast many when it comes to what we hear,you pointed a few other/more important ones.
Now if you could actually pick out everything you just read/talked about by merely listening, I would agree it would be more "relevant".
This is extremely subjective, take for instance your "create theater-level sound levels" comment, what does that mean!?
For me I would tell you a optimal "Atmos" setup in home easily out performs any movie theater.
My point/opinion you upgrade a receiver because of features not to improve the sound.
Does one make a "sound" difference in the end, yes but there are far many of factors ahead of it.
You will always have people pointing to some spec or measurement and proclaim the product is good or bad as a universal fact.
I do agree if it fits and you believe it's worth it by all means buy it.
You ask what does "theater level" sound levels mean, I was referring to actual sound levels in db (100+). You couldn't do this in an apartment/condo, without getting a bang on the wall or ceiling. A basic "home theater in a box" would suffice for a 100sq. ft. room in an apartment. If you to get to 100+ db in a dedicated basement theater setup with larger full-range speakers, your amp has to be up to the task. I have doubts 75W will be enough.
Not to mention the reliability of higher build quality and the fact that it becomes collectible, rather than the disposable nature of the cheaper stuff. The "essence" of what makes a nicer receiver - endures over time, where as the "features" in the cheaper ones go by the wayside as newer features get rolled out.
Rant over, thanks for indulging

My assumption was a 7.2 that claimed to be atmos would be able to power 7.2 plus a pair of atmos.
Not to mention placement of those speakers is just as important for optimal results.
There is a significant difference between one pair vs two "Atmos" speakers.
You are much better off doing 5.2.4 vs 7.2.2.
I would say if you are happy with your 7.2 setup. Going to 7.2.2 isn't really to going to be worth it especially for the cost.
When a receiver is listed as a 7.2 4K, just means it has 7 channels and will decode "Atmos" codecs.
You always have the core 5.1 to consider.

Does anyone have any recommendations for wall mounted height speakers for discrete Atmos to complement this setup?
I was thinking of getting a pair of Klipsch R-41M bookshelf speakers and use those as the front/left speakers and then use two satellites from the reference Cinema pack as the height speakers. I'm using this in an 8x10 game room.
I didn't see any at the Apex store today.
