A good FM receiver?

It's much easier to buy a good FM receiver than it is a good AM (MW)
receiver. Most consumer receivers are geared for FM reception, with MW
getting a place on the dial, but no real attention.

Go to your local Circuit City or Best Buy, borrow a pair of headphones, and
hook a cheapo dipole antenna (all the receivers come with them -- ask the
salesman to let you see an open box) to it and see which one gets the best
signal inside the store. THAT's your radio.

I have difficulty picking up some classical stations and need
something with more receiving power.

More receiving power will be obtained mostly through a better antenna.
Before you purchase a new receiver, get an outdoor antenna if possible.

That
will most likely solve your reception problems.
