Grado SR-80 sound great without an amp. High-end Grados have the same impedence as low-end Grados so they don't need one either. I use my SR-80 with a Nuforce Icon Mobile with my PC, but mostly for the external DAC and the easy access to volume control. One argument for having a portable amp is to lessen the drain on your iPod batteries, but I think the inconvenience outweighs that benefit.
If you really want an amp to see what the fuss is about, get something cheap/good like PA2V2, PenguinAmp Cmoy, or Nuforce Icon Mobile. All of these meet your requirements.
My recommendation is don't waste money on something you don't need. Spend the money on beer. Drinking one or two while listening to your music will increase your enjoyment more than any "upgrade." Seriously!
