You can connct them in parallel.
Just make sure the total impedance is not lower than the recommended by he manufacturer of the chip. Otherwise it will get too hot. Also maybe the fail-safe circuits inside the chip (if any) will be triggered.
As for more powerful chips, have a look at the STK series once B&O ued to have in their series of Hi-Fi models.
