PROBLEMS, PROBLEMS! mad

I have a Pioneer Elite AVR (the smallest one) that's 2 years old. So far it's handled two 8 ohm loads on the left channel and two 8 ohm loads on the right channel. But as soon as I also put two 8 ohm loads on the center channel, the receiver shuts down. I think I've found the Pioneer Elite's limit.

It looks like I might need to add a mono-block for the center channel if I'm to continue as I currently am. Does this sound reasonable? I want a minimum of 100 watt, but preferably more (I'm just anal that way), that can handle one 8-ohm load and one 6-ohm load. Any ideas?

There's this outlaw 200 watt for $350, but that seems a little high.
