Picking up on ozthepoz's comments above, I think that there can actually be a very big difference between the 200 & 250. I say can, rather than is, because this is very much speaker dependant. With some speakers the difference appears to be non existent, I guess with speakers that provide easier loads. However, I observed from my experience auditioning amps with the KEF Blades that the difference between what was then the 170 & 240 was huge, far more than you would expect from the delta in power. It should be remembered that the different case for the 250 makes a huge difference in the cooling performance of the amp, which is in itself related to how the power supply reacts to load demands. For me the difference was night and day in terms of dynamics and control etc.

To be clear, I have no idea how this relates to driving ML's. It's a case of things being rather more complex than you might think in the relationship between amplifier and any given speaker.
