Be careful there... odds are, if it's a 50 wpc integrated amp, that you won't be able to bridge it. And don't try bridging it to another amp, that would be unwise, most amps are not designed to work that way. Marantz has some mono block amps that are bridgable (they have signal inverters on them to enable this). Still, bridging amps lowers their load, so they can not drive low impedance loads when bridged without problems.

If you want more power get bigger amps, and use the preamp outs on your integrated amp (if it has them). If it does not, get either separates or a good receiver with more powerful amps in it.
