If you're volume is up in the OS, and you're running the line out to powered AVR, you shouldn't need anything else. What's your setup, AVR, Separates, or Powered speakers?
Yeah, you could check that by inserting a different amp into one pair of speakers and see if your volume increases. Also make sure that your in-ceiling speakers are wired to give you proper impedance.
Parts express has inexpensive distribution amps rated for more power, or you could wire the 4 speakers together in a way that give you 6-8 ohms (google "series parallel speaker wiring impedence), and use a pro-amp like the Behringer A500 for more power than you'd ever need.
