??? all stereo amps have line level inputs designed to be run from a pre-amp. That is what amps are for!

Is there something that you don't understand or is the terminology confusing you?

You need a stereo amp with power amp inputs. If you are after integrated amps then the Audiolab 8000S can be switched between pre and power amp operation while the
The Kandy K2 would need no switching.

There are probably more integrated amps out there towards the higher end which also will, so be on the lookout for power amp in connections.

A lot of integrated amps have jumpers between the pre-amp output and the power amp inputs. So, you can get at just the power section by removing the jumper and plugging straight into the power amp.

Notice the back of this NAD amp, has both a jumper between one pre-amp out and the power amp ins, and a separate pre-amp out to drive things like subwoofers. The Power Amp input are labeled MAIN.

Now, if you don't need to use the stereo power amp as a stand alone stereo, the indeed a power amp is OK. But, if you plan to run the stereo without the AV amp when playing music, then you are going to need an integrated amp, and you will need to use the standard Line In (AUX, TAPE, CD, DVD, etc...) inputs.

It is really just a matter of deciding if you need just power, or if you need an integrated amp. Then, look at amps that you like, and see if they have this break between the pre- and power section. Of course, with purely power amps, this isn't a concern.

You might be meaning amps with have the unity gain feature which is an input designed for this purpose.

Naim amps for instance have an input labelled "AV" which when used bypasses the volume controls of the integrated and in effect turns the stereo integrated into a pwer amp.
