That's what I do. I have the Toshiba SD6200 which has progressive scan outputs, the DD processor and even has two trays. What's more, it's available now at a street price of less than $400 (http://sql.onecall.com/PID_8646.htm)I put the front channel outputs into a preamp and run the rear channel outputs directly from the DVD into another amp. The player has attenuators for each channel. I have a fairly small HT room so I haven't found a need for more gain on the rears - but if it came to that, all I'd have to do is add a second preamp (and I have closets full of 'em) for the rear channels.
There's a lot of buzz about the Outlaw Model 1050 6.1-channel Digital A/V Receiver for 500 beans. ( http://www.outlawaudio.com/products.html ). You may want to take a look.
