Robert, if your getting better gain when injecting into the return, that is promising. With all the other gains at zero, or with a dummy plug into the return, can you turn the master volume all the way up with virtually no sound from the speakers? then when you inject a signal into that Return, you can get the rated power out of the amplifier under test by turning up the master volume?
What is the model of your multimeter? That way I can get one of their manuals and see what your capable of measuring.
I'm sure you are using good speakers.
If you replaced the electrolytics, can I assume you installed each of them properly ... polarity wise.
