I have owned a couple Denon receivers which were nice nothing wrong with them at all but the Anthem MRX300(bottom model) I have wipes the floor with any other receiver I had prior. Crisp, punchy sound but not harsh - much better in particular at lower volumes.
Yamaha would also be worthy of consideration - they have a nice warmish sound signature and are not prone to fail in the same way that many brands are.
Anthem is definitely the real deal and the reliability of my unit has been rock solid.
