Seems you are getting much more responses over at diyaudio, so I am not going to repeat my answer here.

Yes, but you probably don't need to do so.  However, if you feel as though you need or want more power you should think about some NC1200 based amps then.  Maggies can only go so loud before distortion anyway.

I agree with Jason.
FYI;
 I fellow audiophile who owns Maggies was using a pair of LARGE ARC monos to power his Maggies. He tired a pair of NC1200 monos, said his Maggies never sounded better and has never looked back.

Try them, but only if you are prepared to buy them.

I assume he didn't try nc400's, so we don't know if he would have liked a nc400 just as much?

I feel like I've seen comments about bridging 2 nc400s.  That being said, I have the nc400s and Magnepan 3.6s and I don't think that I really need any more power than they provide.  (maybe I would if I heard the nc1200s or something... but best not to listen when one doesn't have $10k burning a hole in ones pocket.)
