Don't qualify at all.
My biggest Marantz receiver (so far) is a 2285B. Biggest Sansui receiver is a 9090. I have a (rebadged) TOTL quad H/K, but it isn't 120 watts. Guess I'm a non-entity...a loser...I don't qualify... I'm not "in"... Oh, the shame of it all!
:tears:
:scratch2: I think I'll go console myself with putting some rare vinyl music on the Dual and running it through my twin 600 watt (bridged mode) Adcom amps and Infinity towers... or maybe just the run the 2285B or perhaps the 2275, 2265, 2252B, etc... through the Esotec or one of the AU-999s or the AU-9500 and out the 7 Kappas or the Epicures or the SX3-IIIs or the HPM 100s or.... maybe I'll just re-cap the 300dc or fix that on-off glitch in the Nak ZX-7 to take my mind off my monster deprivation. Hope it won't be too depressing, knowing that I'm not listening to true monsters, yet.
EDIT: I guess it doesn't hurt to update a post more than three years later
D): Since the above was written, I have qualified to join this club, with an SX-1980, an SX-1250, a Sony STR-V7, and maybe one or two others. (I think the HK "Citation - The Receiver" should be allowed, because of coolness factor and extreme rarity, and because its MSRP was as high as many on the list, and because it sounds better than some on the list.) Hey! I just noticed the last line in the OP says TOTL models like the SX-1010 (which I have) count, too. I'm definitely over three, then. --Guess I'm IN THE CLUB! Finally! - a club that I can actually join! Thank you!

Here is the text of what WAS post #52 in this thread. As per what it says at the bottom, I'm merging it with this one, and deleting it, to avoid double-posting:
My four biggest receivers (so far ) are:
Pioneer SX-1050........120 WPC
Sony Str-V6..............115 WPC
Sansui 9090...............110 WPC
Marantz 2285B.............85 WPC
I can join the other club (over 100 WPC) but not this one. All mine are too puny. I'm glad women care more about the size of a man's ... uh, well they don't care much about stereo transformer size. Can a guy suffer from "toroid envy"?
EDIT/UPDATE: I've added a bunch (and got rid of some "off the bottom") and the stable now includes the SX-1980, SX-1250, STR-7, and others, so I guess I might squeak in as qualified now.
It may not qualify on wattage(?), but for sheer coolness factor and ultra-rarity, I think the HK "Citation - The Receiver" ought to count, too. Still missing a 2500/2600, the biggest Kenwood, and a few others that might be desirable. I'd love to have a black-faced SX-5590!
FURTHER EDIT/UPDATE: I've also added a Marantz 2325. I think that one should squeak in as a "monster" receiver, too, given its place in the history of the "receiver wars", and its wattage rating of 125 WPC, which meets the 120+ Watt criterion.
P.S. -- I was just re-reading this thread, and discovered that I have TWO posts in it, made at different times, and both updated --also at different times-- without my having realized it. That's the risk when a thread hangs around the archives and re-emerges at long intervals, I guess. LOL! After I renew my membership and can cancel one, I'll consolidate both of them into a single, comprehensible entry and delete the redundant entry. (Please be patient with the double posts until then.)
