You might take a look at some of the powered systems that are designed to support video viewing, some of those make awesome music systems as well. The Logitech powered speakers that feature more than 200W of power come to mind, there are others and you can go upwards to around the 500W or more level without a large expenditure these days with careful shopping. Also, the speaker boxes are rather small, don't let that fool you, the 5.1 systems, when playing back stereo audio, using the included subwoofer, can output some pretty stiff sound pressure levels. The subwoofer assures that the bass is right, tight and powerful.
