S&W began manufacture of .357 Magnum revolvers in 1935. Initially, they could only be obtained by special order. S&W stamped each gun with a unique, sequenced registration number and provided a registration request card in the box. If completed and sent in to S&W, they would send you back a registration certificate. Thus, "Registered Magnum".
As for your what's next, my suggestion would be to purchase the Standard Catalog of Smith & Wesson 4th Edition, start at the front and buy one of everything, in order. When finished, you will have a very fine collection of S&W firearms.
Seriously, if you don't already have a copy, you really should get one. I guarantee that browsing that book will give you more ideas about "what's next" than imaginable.
