Sure. A Sony AV receiver will drive pretty much any headphone. However, two things to keep in mind:
a) You usually have to change your surround settings to plain old two channel stereo. If you listen to phones with the typical Dolby Pro Logic settings (and no center channel or surrounds), it will sound like ka-ka.
b) The padding resistors used to reduce the voltage from the speaker outputs to drive the headphones will have a significant impact on freq response...usually adding a ton of bass to headphones.
