I don't think you need to replace your speakers. Just add another pair of S420SUR as back speakers and your system is 7.1 (although I don't know how much useful will that be, there is hardly any 7.1 channel content out there).

If you still want to upgrade your complete speaker set, go for the Dali Ikon 6 + Vokal 2 + On-Wall or Ikon 1 as surround & rear. My 471 is able to drive Ikon 6 + Concept Center + Focal 706 surrounds to loud levels in a 10m by 6m room. Your Yamaha 667 should be able to do even better.
