On some stereo receivers, there's actually a 2-pin jumper between the preamp section and the amp section. Removing the jumpers gets you direct access to the amp section without going through the preamp section.

If using Denon amplification for all speakers:
If you are looking to use a better preamp than what's in the Denon, you won't be able to because the Denon does not have the above type of setup (ie; you cannot bypass the Denon's preamplifier section). In other words, in order to get to the Denon's amp section you must first go through its preamp section.

If NOT using Denon amplification for all speakers:
Now, if you're feeding separate amps via the Denon's preamp outputs or at least have separate amps for the front channels, that's a different story and "how to do it" can be seen in the link below:
