Should I be concerned about this? Does the onkyo have a lower than normal output voltage?
There is a fairly wide range of output levels on different receivers. Unfortunately there is no real standard that everyone abides by.

There's not much you can do other than install a line amp between the receiver and BFD, but then you'll also be amplifying any noise that's there, so it may offer poor results if you attempt this - hard to say.

I see no problem in increasing the receiver sub output trim level as high as is needed to get a decent level to the BFD.
