Sounds like your over driving them. I'd not biamp them and try that. What is your crossover set at? It definitely sounds like the speakers are not up to the task of your listening levels.

The volume scale readout for movies to music isn't necessarily comparable either. Does sound like you''re asking a bit more out of the setup than the avr can handle. I'd also stop the bi-amping thing, just a waste of wire....but check your connections just in case you've got a stray strand of wire or something along those lines while you're at it....

ps You might think about a cooling fan for the avr....the avr has plenty of ventilation around it?

pps You do have a fan on a reread, as was asked what is it?

What is sitting on top of the receiver? If you have it in a cabinet that doesn't allow good air flow, you need to change that. Also, blowing air onto a receiver isn't as effective as blowing air across.

If you don't have some way to cool the air in your house, you'll need to wait until the temperature is lower to run it so hard.
