Does the Q1 Meta work with the AVR-S770H?

Yes, with one setting change. The Q1 Meta is 4 Ω: set the receiver to 4 Ω in its speaker setup.

Will the AVR-S770H damage the Q1 Meta?

Not once it is set up for it: the AVR-S770H is rated for a 4 Ω speaker with its speaker impedance set to 4 Ω.

Is the AVR-S770H powerful enough for the Q1 Meta?

Just enough. From a seat 2 m away, loud 95 dB movie peaks take about 64 W per speaker, and the AVR-S770H is rated 75 W per channel. Cinema reference level, 105 dB peaks, takes about 634 W.
