A big part of your dissatisfaction comes from the mismatch of the onkyo receiver with the Yamaha main speakers. Before I bought an amp, I would experiment with a new pair of mains, perhaps starting with a pair to match your center speaker if you like its sound.
You see, the Onkyo has a pretty relaxed, "laid-back" sound and the Yamaha speakers are even more relaxed sounding (the surrounds don't matter, at this point). What you need is some speakers that are more dynamic sounding which better match your Onkyo receiver. Klipsch would be a good brand, as would Monitor Audio Silvers, JMlabs, Canton, and Mirage, to name a few brands of speakers that would better compliment your receiver.
Good luck!
