With preamp output voltage that high you probably don't even need to adjust the amp's gain setting much. If at all. Thats if you know what you're doing. Too many people think that the gain setting is some kind of volume control so they set it at MAX. Most folks have no idea how to set the gain properly.
I think I know, but I'm no expert, so I could be wrong.

I don't have the time to write out an explanation of how to set an amp's gain. However there is plenty of info on the net.
Amplifier Gain Controls
This is how I set the gain on all my installs
Setting Gain with an O-scope
Setting Gain by Ear

Here, follow this interactive tutorial from JL...

And here is one rule as well after watching that, say you have a 4 channel amp, 4x100 at 4 ohms. To figure out its optimal voltage, you do the watts times the ohms (100x4) and find the SquareRoot of that (20). So you would set your input voltage to 20.
