E.g. it's easy for me to believe the analog outputs from your Classe Processor are going to be more "dynamic" than from your Toshiba. Same with the Pioneer unless maybe it's the $2500 Pioneer Elite Blu-ray player.
Are you getting lossless using HDMI 1.3 to the Processor ? At a minimum the player has to either be able to bistream or decode DTS HD MA to PCM. And the processor has to be able to decode the bitstream and/or accept PCM through HDMI. Assuming you use the processor DACs.
You are also not going to get multichannel lossless from DVD playback, only blu-rays with lossless sound tracks.
