so what should I look for in a receiver? Out of these two will the VSX-519V-K do the trick?

yes if you let the Magnavox do all the DD THD and DTS HD decoding you can send a PCM signal to the receiver to hear the Lossless audio track.

Personally I am not a big fan of the new X19 series receivers that Pioneer has put out. They are rating very low on the bench testing at only producing 28 wpc on the 1019. If the 519 is using a smaller amp or powersupply it may not even give you 28 wpc when pushing 5 or more channels. I would consider an Onkyo 507 or the Denon 1610 or even the Sony STR-DH800.
