Ok I've tried my DT770 cans on my full sized Marantz amp, much the same result as my magni 3 amp, lacks volume and distorts if you push them too far, I think I know why.
From the Beyerdynamic DT770 specs "Power handling capacity . . . . . . . . . . . . 100 mW "
M50X specs "1,600 mW at 1 kHz"
Yeah I know RMS, peak, max wattage, sensitivity, specmanship is another can of worms but at face value 16 x the power handling of the DT770 cans is massive, whether it's 2x or 10x either way the M50's I'd say can handle the wattage / produce satisfying volume whereas the DT770's can't. The DT770 cans have to go back to Amazon, kind of shocked because so many users are happy with the DT770's
