You havent told us how you checked that, but if you did nothing more scientific than to stick something like a milk thermometer into an espresso while it was brewing, its pretty much what I would expect. So in that regard I dont think there is anything wrong with brew temperature / thermostats etc.
The problem would seem to lie elsewhere but atleast I think you can eliminate brew temp as a possible.....
Oh and wrt your grinder. If you know someone that can come round with a better grinder for you to try (or that you can take your machine to), then that is something you can check and compare easily yourself. My opinion is the Sunbeams are well below par for Silvia and not really a good "match"....just something that would keep you going until you could afford something better. A comparison using a better grinder might answer all your questions.
Hope that helps.
