you need a receiver with a pre-amp out to do what you want to do, i believe.  then the volume is controlled by the pre-amp stage of the integrated receiver as if you were running separates.

you can try a speaker leve > line level converter if you have a 2nd set of speaker taps on your receiver.  basically these gadgets incorporate a step-down transformer to bring the levels down to line levels.
