Connecting Integrated to Receiver..

I have a nonvintage Marantz receiver which have tons of input and is ok for movies, but I dont like stereo output,
so I was thinking to connect my vintage integrated by the receiver tape out
this way front speakers will be connected to the integrated while surround and center to the receiver.
I tried that but the problem is that receiver digital inputs are not outputed to the tape out.
so is impossible to use receiver dac and output to integrated.
The only way I can do this is using the pre outs but this way I have 2 volume controls and maybe not such an audiophile choice,
any experience with this? Should I use the preouts or it doesn't worth. Im not in the budget for a power amplifier.

Why not? Use the pre-outs and just set your amp to about 1/2 volume and use the volume control on the Marantz. Your ears will tell you if it was a good move.
 
I was actually dealing with this very thing tonight trying to connect my Fisher CA-271 amp to my Sansui 2000A receiver. I pulled the u-connectors from the pre-outs on the Sansui--but chickened out ( I didn't want to fry the old girl). Just decided to connect the amp to my Sansui mixer's output jacks via RCA splitters. If this is a bad idea, I'd appreciate the input.
