ML26 & Receiver Question

I have one power amp right now and no real listening room but I can't stand the sound that the receiver produces through the preouts, it's a Marantz 7008 that's my only processor option right now so I've had to constantly switch from the preouts to the 26 when I want to listen to music...is there any solution to have the best of both worlds and keep the sound quality on the same amp?

I know this seems like a stupid question most likely but I've never had to mess with trying to combine my HT with everything else.
