Harry,
My limited experience with receivers (for customers) is that Pioneer Elite, Denon and Rotel receivers provide good sound quality as compared to other brands.
It will have to be a newer model to pass 3D and 4K, but purchasing used may allow you more performance.
You may want to consider a processor and amplifier as new formats are always seeming to be developed - the latest is Dolby Atmos (questionable if it will take to consumer products). While you might have to spend slightly more, I believe your long term investment will be a better value.
Good luck and kindest regards.
