http://www.parasound.com/pdfs/PPH-100Brochure.pdf says that it has
enough gain to drive "line-drive preamps" which is a hopeful sign.


Not to me. Gain and drive aren't related.

The typical "line-drive preamp" has low or zero gain.

A nd having enough
gain to drive the high impedance input of an active preamp isn't
what I need.

Presumably you want to drive the input of a power amp, which is high
compared to the output impedance and load driving capabilities of a phono
preamp or passive controller.
