@ OP I'm saying this with respect and politely, so please take it as such.
I believe you are asking for too much. Nothing at all wrong with that, but it will lead to compromises (in the plural).
My suggestion would be to look at a very recent previous generation top of the line receiver. It will also address your amplification needs, especially if you can bi-amp, even if you end up not using all the channels. If you want to keep the amplification separate then the same approach with respect to a HT oriented Pre/Pro.
I think there are marginally improved receivers / pre/pros released in the spring by the major players (unless that has changed), so the timing may work in your favor.
All the best finding what will suit your needs and preferences.
