That *is* pretty slow for sustained writes. Does the same rate hold true for individual large files as it does for lots of small ones? What filesystem are you using on each side?
rsync -aHAXxv --numeric-ids --progress -e "ssh -T -c arcfour -o Compression=no -x"
It's worth noting that -X and -A are going to perform filesystem IO that you don't see on SMB, because it isn't going to preserve/set ACLs and extended attributes (IIRC). So, one possibility is that you're seeing a difference in rate because you're doing lots of small files and filesystem operations are relatively slow.
You might drop those two options and see how that affects the rate. If you determine that those are the cause of the performance difference, you can turn them back on, understanding that there's a cost associated with preserving that data.
Both servers have plenty of memory and cpu usage looks low.
Define low. If you're using top and press '1' to expand the CPU lines, you'll probably see one cpu with higher "us" percentage, which is SSH encrypting the data. What percentage is that? Is there a large value in "sy" or "hi" on any CPU? Probably not since you see good rates using 'dd' and smb copies, but I've seen systems where interrupt processing was a major bottleneck, so I make it a standard check.
