Got this open box at Best Buy for $500. I normally do not like processing enabled on my audio equipment but I really like the Spatial 360 that Sony does for movies. I'd def recommend checking it out.

What does the spatial 360 do for movies that already have a surround sound audio track?

He means VIRTUAL surround sound, in case you don't have physical surround sound speakers.
I also have this receiver and I like the virtual speaker height. My speakes are at ear level but the tv is higher up above the fireplace. I specified the heights of the speakers and of the tv and it TRULLY sounds like the audio is coming from the tv. I don't know how they do it, but I have to walk up right to the speaker to be convinced that the sound is coming out of the speaker and not the tv.

Sony will blow that entry Denon miles away, Denon S760H is comparable with Sony DH790
Highly doubtful. I would get the Sony just because it's newer and has more modern features, but in terms of components used they're likely on a similar level.
I'm switching from the Yamaha TSR700 that's been acting up. I'm fairly satisfied with the TSR700 except I don't feel like I'm getting much out of the height speakers as I'd hoped.
Immersive audio with Digital Cinema Auto Calibration IX and 360 Spatial Sound Mapping
Supports today's leading HDR formats: Dolby Vision, HDR10, Hybrid Log Gamma, and IMAX Enhanced.
"Works With Sonos" makes it possible to integrate the STR-AN1000 with your new or already existing Sonos system
Stream your way with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Chromecast built-in, Spotify Connect, and Apple AirPlay.
For clarification, the power is 100watts/channel in stereo, so you can expect lower output per channel in surround (Sony didn't post an "all channels driven" spec). Should still be adequate power for a majority of users.

Actual, I did mean surround to the person who said I was talking about virtual surround from a 2.0 setupโฆ I have a 5.1 setup but Sonys processing somehow seems to provide more "body " to the surround .. it sounds like I have more speakers than I do. You can google "Sony 360 Spatial Mapping". My wife commented immediately that the sound was much better than our older Onkyo TXRZ610.
Edit:
Andrew Robinson on YouTube reviewed this model and had quite a bit to say about the Sonys processing . Would give a more professional opinion.
Thanks for mentioning this! $385 in "Excellent" condition made me finally bite. I've been wanting to grab a new Receiver for a few years now and suddenly I have this and likely the LG G3 coming about the same time. It's gonna be a hell of an upgrade all around!

Its a good deal under $400! Now just need a nice 7.1 system to pair this with.
