Proof of improvements in audio system sound quality....
What a rambling mess of a post. Were you drinking heavily when you came up with this?  
I need help to decide
Quick question. How long is a ball of string?  
Quobuz subscription
I am extremely happy with the SQ of Qobuz. YMMV…  
Preamp for VPI Prime 21 turntable $300-800
Not sure why you’d sink 7k+ in a turntable only to cheap out on the phono stage. It’s at least as important as everything else.  
Qobuz + Lumin = Headache
I use the Lumin app.   
Budget amp that will give Magnepan 3.6Rs better depth of soundstage
Many years ago I tried a Classe CA-200 on a pair of 3.5rs and I didn’t think it was a good match. I didn’t keep the amp long at all.

If someone handed you this system, what would you change?
I agree with @stereo5 . Ditch the Emotiva and get a good two channel preamp and amp. I’m also not a fan of DSP except for subs. Not familiar with Deezer, but if it’s compressed audio, go with Qobuz or Tidal.   Those are my thoughts.  
Loud Snap at High Volume
I wouldn’t expect speakers in that price range to have trouble handling 95 db peaks. Most mid fi gear can coast through that.  
I want more bass…
I vote for the room. Either you are sitting in an area with a suck out or your expectations are not realistic. I would start with taking some measurements to see exactly what you are getting.
