HT power amp for 7 channels@200 Watt into 4 Ohms

I recently started to set up my new DenonAVR5800 and found that the 7 speaker output terminals are for 6-16 ohm speakers and I have 7 four ohm speakers to attach to it. I don't want to burn it up (safety shut off might protect it but then I can't hear when it is shut down). The speakers can be driven @200 Watts without any problem so I thought the Denon which provides 170 Watts was fine until I came across the data from an ohm meter.
There was no warning about this in all the Denon paperwork (which is a marvel of Japanese European English).
Do any of you actually know of any 7 channel amplifier that really can safely deliver 200 Watts into 4 Ohms (and for saftey's sake into 2 Ohms)?
