Your volume control position has no bearing on output power. You might clip your amp at 60%. Just so you'll know...
I personally love monoblocks. I feel that the most important part of an amplifier is its power supply. With monoblocks, you get double the power supply of the same stereo amp and that improves everything across the board.
Monoblocks also get you nearly-infinite channel separation which is not to be underestimated when it comes to image precision.
I too listen to trance and techno and can tell you that having extra headroom will make a very big difference. You basically can't have too much power for electronic music IMO.
