If your amp is being overloaded on the peaks - it is likely the speakers need more power.

Unfortunately, a lot of receiver power ratings (esp. mass market ones) are taken in strange conditions not very much like reality in order to make a data sheet look good. Your 100+W per channel may not be 100W in reality but clipped.

So ... what to do? Either switch back to your previous arrangement, OR upgrade that amp to have more real power! :)
