Higher impedance won't hurt your receiver. 380 watts into 8 ohms implies 78 volts of useful power supply margin. This would only deliver 30 watts into 100 ohms, so your resulting sound would probably be bass-shy.

However, any impedance below 8 ohms would likely harm your receiver if there were any chance of demanding full power at that frequency. Receivers are notoriously under-designed and any application with impedance below that for which it is rated will probably burn out the output transistors.
