Denon 3311 with 5.1 and zone 2 towers?


I just bought a Denon 3311 and have a Definitive Technology - ProCinema 600 5.1-Channel Home Theater Speaker System. This works just fine. However the problem I am having is very little power seems to be going to zone 2 which is Def Tech BP2000 Towers that are made to handle 500w each. This receiver only puts out 125 but the towers are not producing volume that would even resemble a cheap 30 watt amp. I have a Sony 100W per channel amp that make the speakers produce with authority and I expected more out of a higher quality receiver with more output. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I called Denon and they said that I can not adjust the volume on Zone 2 as they are concerned that Zone 1 and zone 2 will be driving too hard together and possibly burn up the amp. Is there a trick to adjusting the limit on the volume that you are aware of? I am using 2 of the 7 channels for the second zone. Any additional help would be appreciated Elevick.
