The issue here is once you touch it, you have to bring the piece up to code in its entirety.... So if you had left outlets alone, no new breakers needed. Now you have to replace each breaker for the outlets you upgraded. I had to do the same with my kitchen four years ago. Expensive yes. And now they are in short supply, like many other building supplies. (I ended up going from 100 to 200 amp service after I saw the cost of just adding a sub panel...)

I can look through code books later if you really want it.
