The Yamaha might work, you didn't mention if the Pioneer was a surround receiver, from the comments I assumed not. With the Def Tech's powered you may not need that much power from the Yamaha, if it has preamp outputs the better, then you can easily add an external power amp. Hook all 4 speakers to the Yamaha, like front left/right for one set and rear left/right for the other. Then you can use the Yamaha's internal speaker set up to balance them, maybe even use the auto speaker set up for the additional room equalization. Then when having the party run the receiver in "all channel stereo" mode so all the speakers are driven with same level. Set all speakers to "large" inside the Yamaha so they get the full signal. Yamaha usually offers a good selection of DSP modes you might find useful, "hall", "disco" etc. Maybe see if one has better bass reinforcement.
You didn't mention a budget for amps. I'd watch for used Adcom, you can usually find a 200x2 either gfa 555 or 5500 around $500.00 give or take. Great value at the used prices. For new and on a budget you might consider the Emotiva, or, maybe some of the Class D offerings out there. If you really want them to sing and still be able to stream in one package, look at the Parasound Halo integrated amp.
For better quality streaming Tidal has a high res service that's about $20.00 a month. If you can only do Spotify, many HT receivers have some type of digital enhancement to expend response of mp3, it may work on streaming, not sure. I've found streaming from Pandora and Amazon Prime to be not so good by comparison to CD, not used Spotify.
