That's not completely true. There are low-end mass-market receivers out there that will overheat and/or go into overload protection mode when pushing 4 ohm loads. Either the receiver's power supply can handle it or it cannot. An amp that is 4-ohm stable will run all day. Sound quality is a whole other issue.
