I understand that magic find increases the chance of an item being "upgraded" from a white to blue, blue to yellow, yellow to orange/green, but is there anything, like high monster power, that affects the "quality" of an item, like a weapon's damage?

Enabling Monster Power in Inferno causes all monsters to be level 63. Since item affixes are generated based on monster level, this means that any item can now generate the best possible affixes. You also have the best chance of iLvl 63 items spawning, which have the best base stats. Without Monster Power, you wouldn't get that until Act 3.
Otherwise, no. Monster Power has no impact on item rarity beyond the magic find impact.
