+1 to the heat-treated output shaft. An alloy steel like 4130 or 4340 might work very well, and they can be heat-treated to very high strengths. Watch out for warping during heat-treatment; you may want to machine 95% of the part, heat treat it, then finish machining it if you find that the additional strength is required. Titanium (I know it's expensive) would do very well because of it's relatively high shear strength as compared to steel or aluminum. It would be a smart place to use titanium, not just to say "we used titanium."
