From what I know, when an amp goes into clipping is when the drivers and fuses in the Maggies start to blow up.

For a few years, I've been using the Spectron Musician III MK2 mono-blocks with Bybee purifiers. These amps have lots of headroom, so I've never blown a fuse, even though they output 2400 watts of power into 4 ohms. A single amp in stereo model can output pea current of 65 amps.

Something to keep in mind with the new generation of high power amps is that you should choose a set of speaker cables that can transfer all that power without much loss. I'm currently experimenting with my own built, 7 gauge (aprox), good ol' copper cables (two sets, true bi-wire) and it's amazing how good they are.

In the past, a high-power amp used to cost a fortune and the cable designers developed their hi-priced cables for these amps. Nowadays, there are a few audio cable companies that are making speaker cables suitable for high-power amps at reasonable prices.

My main suggestion is to look for a high-power, high-current amp and then revise your speaker cables if you need to.
Roger Sanders makes great amps specifically for Maggies. I have heard Atmaspheres with Maggies and they sounded magical.
Parasound 2200 Mk2 or Parasound 3500. Both have tons of current. the 3500 is almost impossible to clip, it never runs out of gas.
Hi all - forgot about this thread - solved the problem -
