I mean, going from D200 to D400 by getting a second D200 seems as though it would offer a larger improvement in sound and be far more cost effective.
There are some very very good deals on the current models at the moment and that too me is far more attractive than the upgrade price offered for the D200 to move up.
No. More power does not equate to better sound quality. More power equates to more output (SPL) and more headroom but that's all. Unless your system requires more power to suppress potential distortions from driving the volume up it would be unnecessary to increase it.
I tend to disagree. When I upgraded from 170 to 200, my Dynaudio C1's (Love power!) sounded much better at low volumes. I understand not all speakers need power though
