How big is the room?

What are your main speakers?

With movies and/or music?

Your receiver is not pushing your sub, it's pushing itself. (It's an active sub)

Did you connect your speaker cables correctly? plus to plus and so forth?

Seems like a decent unit from the specs, certainly shouldn't sound muddy. I assume by the description on their site of "closed box" it is a sealed woofer?

Do you maybe have the XO point set really low on the sub but high on the receiver so you are losing a band of bass?

I've heard many Denon AV receivers. To me they are rather coloured with bass.

Does your receiver have a set of pre-out? Try connecting the pre-outs to the line-level inputs of the sub with a pair of interconnects. Also try increasing the x-over frequency to +/- 100/120Hz. No pre-outs, no interconnects then try increasing the x-over frequency.
