There's no way to get lossless multi-channel out of a PS3 without using HDMI.
You can, as you seem to have already figured out, enjoy lossless Blu-ray sound with your current receiver if you get a dedicated player with both analogue output and internal decoding of TrueHD and DTS HD: Master Audio.
Now you just need to decide if it makes more sense to upgrade the receiver to one with HDMI and continue using the PS3 for Blu, or stick with the current receiver and get a dedicated player.
