simplest thing is probably panasonic sa-xr45 or other versions of it -- it'll do all the things you need for well under your budget and has a strong folowing e.g.http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/amp/messages/63716.html
The Sonic Impact's advantage is it's decent low-power amplification for a trivial amount of money, and you can always do something with it or keep it as a backup. But the $99 TEAC amp is indeed a real bargain given that you get a proper case, decent connectors and more power. I think you'd still need some sort of preamp to switch sources and do volume, whereas the SI does give you a volume control.
If you don't get a receiver, check out http://www.fmtunerinfo.com/ for ideas about tuners. If you're going to move to separates, this is not a bad time to start looking for a nice tuner.
see http://db.audioasylum.com/cgi/m.mpl?forum=amp&n=48655&highlight=teac+tripath&r=&session=
Or, if you're ready for a walk on the wild side, your speakers would also work with low-powered tube gear. The Decware Zen should be available used within your budget.
