I highly recommend you consider a used Rotel A/V receiver. My experience is that the Rotels sound better than the garden-variety Marantz/Onkyo/Yamaha stuff. If you can find an RSX-1055 or newer receiver, that's where you should go.
As to HD - the market is in a bit of turmoil right now over new standards and new audio codecs. IMO it's better to get a receiver that has a multi-channel analog input, and let the HD player do the audio decoding right now. Again, the recent-vintage Rotels seem to do a better job with MC analog inputs than the mass-market crap.
