Added a pair of Dali Zensor 1 as front L/R for now. They sound good but seem power hungry.

It's not that way. BS will always sound smaller compared to Towers. If you need same level of sound, then BS will start shouting after one point. On other hand Towers have bigger soundstage with same amount of volume. This is the comparison when only 2 channel music is played.. I somehow felt my AVR (Yamaha RX-V4A) was not able to drive them well. It felt underpowered. With Dali Oberon 5s (sensitivity 88 dB) as front L and R the sound is louder (needless to say bass is far better). The AVR does not feel underpowered (comparison done in stereo mode)
From what I have read/watched in last 1.5 years
3. Bass of course with FS speakers has improved a lot. For particular scenes, the bedroom from outside sounds like a theater.
This gets me thinking - A 5.25 inch low frequency driver, driven by an AVR which supplies at max 80 Watt to the speaker is able to produce very good bass (for my bass appetite; I love bass). Do I need a 12 inch subwoofer with ~300Watt RMS or a lesser powerful subwoofer would do?
Adding proper center channel speaker and subwoofer in coming weeks/months should improve overall experience.
