This doesn’t make sense to me. Not trying to be rude.
When you say the speakers are more like 4 ohms in real life, you’re saying the impedance swing occurs with changing frequencies, which is true. However, A well designed speaker at 8 ohms uses quite a bit less current. Impedance may swing to 4 ohms every now and then, but it will not remain there for long.
I don’t think you would need a power amplifier. That’s probably overkill. An integrated amp that is pushing about 40 watts per channel or more at 8 ohms will do fine. Vintage gear that was made in Japan is probably the best value.
Last thing - on the back of any speaker amp you’ll see something like:
8 ohms - 16 ohms
4 ohms - 16 ohms
Lower impedance = more current required.
