First of all, I've learned to bother less - I don't seem to own anything 
that requires a perfectly matched wall wart, almost everything here with 
barrel plugs is 5.5/2.1mm centre positive 5, 9 or 12V DC and does not 
need currents beyond 1000mA. After replacing the weakest  (300-500mA) 
wall warts with 1A ones that cover everything, and swapping out the one 
odd 3.5mm socket for a standard one, that left me with three voltage 
groups for just about everything, save for a few devices that require AC 
or very non-standard voltages. Labelling wall warts and inputs by 
voltage (using red stickers for AC, and blue for the two or three odd 
men out that take 7.5 or 18V, or 2.5A) covers all my needs.
