In reply to:

So the 2 channel amp controls the volume on the mains and the receiver controls the volume on all the other speakers. Is that right?




No, actually the reciever is the 'brain' that controls volume, the amp is nothing more than an outside source for providing power to the speakers via the reciever. The reciever is just providing the data to transform this power into the sounds emiting from the speakers...if that makes any sense.
