I don't think your issue is power related. Those two amplifiers (Quicksilver/Acurus) appear to have a large difference in voltage gain. That's why you're not getting the necessary volume with the Quicksilver amps.
As Andy noted, 25w amps should be sufficient for ribbon-only usage.
Just to confirm, I would connect onto the 8 ohm taps of your Quicksilver amplifiers.
Voltage gain issues have fooled folks into thinking they have power issues for many years. Your experience is not unusual.
Cheers,
