In most cases, the clamp mentioned are on stereo integrated amps. Most surround processors/prepro's do not have them.
Yes In most modern AV receivers the pre outs are separate so no need to remove anything. Just connect the pre outs to another preamp input or directly to amplifiers.
Now not all AV receivers have those outputs. Usually you have to start at midrange price to get it. In the case of Marantz usually start with the AVR 50xx series
Of course any pre pro has those outputs since no amplifier.
Hope this helps.
