Try a Marantz or a Harmon Kardon. AV receivers tend to be anything but basic.
Your marantz 2250 have a class a amplifier so that is why you get that warm sound. I own a 2220 and I love it.
I would suggest getting what ever A/V receiver you want (I'm a fan on the Yamaha aventage line) and then pick up a single ended class a amp to connect to the front channel pre-amp outputs of the A/V receiver.
Another option is to get a really nice A/V pre-amp and the class a amp for the front R and L channels and then a 5 channel AB amp for the center and surround channels.
Those are my thoughts anyway...
