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.

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
As I also mentioned people have been making "claims" regarding sound quality since the dawn of time, whether it's the truth for everyone is the endless debate.
Just look in here, how often people make the "claim" how good or bad something sounds never actually listening to the product themselves.
Your definition of "theater level sound levels" is another good example.
If you don't listen at 100+db's, why worry what max a receiver can handle not to mention the other things that go into that equation, some you pointed out.
That brings up my biggest issue with movie theaters, they always have it at "movie theater sound levels"!!!
IMO loud does not equal quality!
My rant is over also, thank you the civil debate(for once).
There was 8 available..actually,make that 7 available.

Had a Harman/Kardon in the past that sounded great but was a nightmare to use. The Yamaha was such a big step up in function that I've been loyal ever since.
