Now here I am after one month, and now I am thinking that this headphone (100AAP) might be a little soft for my taste, I just seek a little more dynamism, if that's the word. So I have already put it on for sale, do you guys think that the 770 will be a SIGNIFICANT upgrade over this cans? Cause I don't want to buy it unless its a worthy upgrade if you get what I mean.

Beyers have pretty good dynamics but the 770 and 990 Pros have quite awful Frequency response which is what makes it 'fun' to listen to & could well be your cup of tea. If you are treble sensitive there is spike just below 10KHz that can be annoying if you listen to a lot of electronica - claps can be thorns. You would definitely need an amp and a FIIO E11 will do fine.
In your price range its hard to have a 'significant' step up with isolation but my experience with the current market is quite a bit outdated.
@MrTechAgent
could probably help you with Beyers, he has a good level of experience with Pros and Premiums alike.
Contrary to some responses to your post, beyerdynamic headphones are NOT hard to drive unless they are 600 ohm Premium versions. Most beyers come with high sensitivity and even 250 ohm versions can be driven for your desktop use to decent level without amp and to great level with your E11 amp. Don't hesitate.
May be good SPL but the 250 ohm Beyers lack in dynamics and have higher distortion across the board when driven directly from desktop unless of course with a good sound card like an Asus Xonar....
