Check to see if there are input level trims. Also, check the speaker level settings. You should calibrate them so that the center channel is at zero on the Marantz when reading 75DB on an SPL meter playing the speaker test tone (Rat Shak SPL meter...if you don't got it...get it).
If all the levels are correct, then don't worry about it as long as it gets loud enough for you...matter of fact there may be advantages since most volume controls sound better in the upper ranges.
