1- Is the speaker wire too thin and doesn't have the capacity at high volumes (starts getting static at Vol. #80 - range is 1-100)?

Thats probably the maximum the amp can produce and it is clipping or distorting. 80% is very high, most receivers if getting a good line level will not go above 65 to 75% without clipping.
Your receiver is rated at 90watts and that wont give you high db levels.

2- If I need a thicker gauge wire, what gauge should I get (my longest run is about 30 ft.)?
|
Thicker gauge wire may help a little as there will be less resistance but not a hole lot.
Go with 14awg wire. at 30 ft thats plenty.

3- Is it worth getting "Monster Wire" or just a good premium Radio Shack wire. If so, what gauge/type?

No, Monster is just a gimmick (your just paying for the name) and there will be no noticeable difference when using good quality stranded copper speaker wire from Home Depot.
