I've got my Oppo 105 front outputs connected to a Marantz 4300 bridged at 100 wpc and the rears out to a Marantz 2270. No center. 4 Belles. Sounds great. Easy to balance with the two volume knobs and overall volume control with the Oppo.
 
A problem you might have if you try to drive power amps directly from the Oppo's outputs is that there may not be enough voltage available from the Oppo to get sufficient volume from your system. If the amps have a volume control and/or sensitive inputs maybe it won't be an issue.
 
I just found this topic, which is useful for me. I intend to use an Oppo 203 to drive 2 pairs of active speakers, which have room correction for each pair (Buchardt A500). I do not have room for subwoofers or larger speakers, so this seems a good compromise for me in principle - we shall see how it works in practice!
