Sure, for the highest input tolerance, you can't beat the Channel Master/PCT 34XX series distribution amps. They can also be used just like a pre-amp with the optional remote power supply.

The Antennacraft 10G201 & RCA PRAMPR1 are good choices too, although the RCA hasn't been around long enough to predict reliability. Another member here (Pete Higgins) has just tested the RCA at his location & it seems to be just as tolerant as the Channel Master distribution units with screeching input levels. The dual input capability of the RCA is a nice feature as well.
