No the RX105 doesnt have outputs from the preamp section so you cant at least not without surgery bypass the power amp portion of the receiver and substitute the DJ amp. Some receivers have jumpers on the back between the preouts and the powerins .. yours does not.

The only way to connect to your receiver is through the headphone jack. The headphone jack output level will vary with the volume control. All you need is a standard 1/4 inch TRS to RCA cable: http://www.amazon.com/HOSASTEREOPHONE33ftRETURN/dp/B000068O1J/refsr15?selectronicsieUTF8qid1290009597sr15 Just keep in mind that that amp is not that much more powerful than your receiver so you may be disappointed. The amp puts out 170 watts into 8 ohms and the receiver puts out 100 watts. That difference will be noticeable but not dramatic.
