Re: Boosting My Receiver

You would have to add an external power amp, if your unit has a
pre-amp output after the volume control circuit to allow this.  You
cannot easily add a power amp after the speaker connections, unless it
was designed to. There are some matching adabtors to allow this, but
the quality is not very good, when this approach is done.
 
Adding one of these add-on units that work from the speaker
connections will also amplify the noise from the receiver's output
stage. This type of booster is not a good idea.

The maximum total power output is limited to the power output of the
power amp.  If you were able to add a 50W/ch power amp after your
receiver, the maximum power output you would have is 50W/ch, and not
more.

You would most likely find it a lot cheaper and be better off to go
and purchase a new receiver with more power to begin with, rather than
trying to do an add-on affair.  You would also have better quality.
