If you're running the audio out through the HDMI for DTS-Master, DTS-HD and Dolby True-HD, then you do need to have a receiver that has the ability to decode those. Regardless, if the PS3 decodes them or not. The only way to get around it is if you have 5.1 or 7.1 analog outs on the Blu-ray player and ins on the receiver. This is what some people have found as an alternative to upgrading thier receivers. However, I'm not sure the PS3 even has analog 5.1 or 7.1 outputs. If it doesn't, you need to have a receiver that decodes the new audio codecs. Since, HDMI would be the only way to send the signal for the Hi-Res audio.
