Re: [Doepfer_a100] Getting extra power to a 9U.

This is where sites like http://www.modulargrid.netcome in handy. Lay out your planned modules and it will tell you power requirements and prices. It has nearly every maker out there.

But note that you need to calculate the total current draw on a module by module basis-stated by manufacturers-not just what would seem to fit the cabinet/rack size. It is best to add the total draw for positive and the total draw for negative together then add 10%. as soon as that approaches your max current draw you need to upgrade.
