In terms of power, there are differences, the RX-V377 has such a ratio W/Ohm - 100/8, 135/6, while the STR-DH770 has a power of 105/6. A common feature for devices is the same total harmonic distortion - 0.09%.

Signaling over HDMI in standby mode can provide the RX-V377 and the STR-DH770. None of the devices can increase the resolution of the incoming video signal.
