I still think he might be best perhaps, to use the second receiver as a "normal" amp, to off load some of the work, such as powering some surround channels. This would effectively increase his total system power IF the limiter was the power supply, or internal limiter circuits in the receivers.
For example, say both receivers had 500 VA transformers, and had limiter circuits. Using both receivers would increase the total transformer capacity, and well as reducing the effects of limiting in both receivers.
I would say experiementation could determine what would work best, if anything. Unless I am missing something, as someone has implied
It may not be worth it, but it's really not a ton of work to try it out.
