Here are measurements taken by Sound & Vision for the Pioneer:

Output at Clipping : (1kHz @8/4 ohms)
1 Channel Driven - 154 watts
5 Channels Driven - 148 watts
6 Channels Driven - 144 watts

For the Denon 5800 (I think that it has the same amp as the 5803):
1 Channel Driven - 187 watts
5 Channels Driven - 138 watts
No data for 6 Channels.

Both of those receivers have really good stats.
