and yea, pretty sure the dual drivers in my center channel are rated at 300 a peice + mid tweet, Yamaha V667 receiver @ 950W X 7 channel

Specs of your center channel you have:
• Woofer w/Tweeter
• Removable Grill
• Audiophile-Grade Crossovers
•
Power Handling: 20W-120W
• Frequency: 68Hz-20kHz
• Impedance: 8 Ohms
• Sensitivity: 87dB
• Dimensions: 7” x 20” x 8.5”
• 3 Year Limited Warranty
Here are the specs of a regular Yamaha receiver.

RX-V657
Output at clipping (1 kHz into 8/4 ohms)
1 channel driven: 181/278 W (22.6/24.4 dBW)
5 channels driven (8 ohms): 67 W (18.3 dBW)
STEREO PERFORMANCE, DIGITAL INPUT
All signals were PCM and 16-bit except where noted otherwise. Reference level is –20 dBFS; all level trims at 0. Volume setting for reference level was –3.5.
Output at clipping (1 kHz, 8/4 ohms)
both channels driven: 129/188 W (21.1/22.7 dBW)

Even this lower model managed 67W X 5 1kHz at clipping, and that is 1W higher than the HKAVR330:
Output at clipping (1 kHz into 8/4 ohms)
1 channel driven: 95/148 W (19.8/21.7 dBW)
5 channels driven (8 ohms): 67 W (18.2 dBW)
PCM Stereo performance (1kHz, 8/4 ohms, both channels driven)................................86/25W in multi-channel, shutdown after half a second.

I like to compare those test results using HK's as a reference because HK seems to produce numbers close to or exceed what they specify.
Did they test the 4600 with the impedance switch set to 4 ohms? If they did, according to the S&V reviewer the current capability will be limited to half.
It is hard to believe a 40 lb weight Yamaha could not do better than 40WX5.
