You don't buy Yamaha av gear for their power.

The protection activates easily with Yamaha receivers when sine wawe is pushed to all channels continuosly and the power output figures drop, this won´t happen with real world material as Gene has told cause the ACD test is very different to real world material like movies.
Audiovision site has got the ACD test done on A3060/A3070 so that the protection circuit won´t pull back power. On A3080 it did!
Here you can see RX-A3070 doing 129watts for 7 channels continuosly 4 ohm. And for 2 channels 4 ohm 252watts, that´s almost as much as Denon X8500H managed to get at 260w and more than any competitor shows! I won´t link everyone below, you can put model in to right box search on the site.

7 channels continuosly 4 ohm load which should be brutal test for powersupply, so 129watts for Yamaha!
Denon X6500H - 100watts
Marantz SR8012 - 113watts
Arcam AVR-850 - 134watts
Denon X8500H - 140watts
Yamaha 3000 serie has 18,000uf caps which are larger than in 6000 serie Denon for example and the continuos power for 2 channels alone shows there is large powersupply by todays standards. It´s a shame that @amirm haven´t got the flagship Yamaha to ASR!
