It may be time for a new keyboard!

Yes, there is more distortion when the reverb is turned all the way up.  But there is still distortion when it is half way up, as well -- just not as much.  And maybe I am just hearing things differently, but I did not notice this in the previous years that I've owned the keyboard, and it doesn't seem to be there -- at least not as prominently -- on the new E463, though I'll have to take another listen to it.

Normally, I use a moderate amount of reverb on my main/dual voice patches -- I rarely have it cranked to 127.  The main time I do that is on the split voice if it is the case that I want as much of a sustaining effect as possible, as the PSR-E400's do not allow the sustain pedal to provide sustain to the left side of a split keyboard.  And as those notes are usually lower in pitch, I don't notice the effect there, as much.  I mainly hear it in the melodies and right-hand chords that I play.
