Or go for irony and have a tiny farming home behind the wall.

For one of my megaprojects I built a two 12x12, 6-story towers out of solid gold.  These bookended a set of three 4-story 5x8 marble towers with a walkway between them, and all of it sat on top of a pair of (I think) 5x10 marble bridges.  Of course, I built 10 or 11 total of those gold towers between the three embarks the accompanying wall covered, and about 17,000 more marble blocks on top of that...  but even so.

Don't get so focused on the gate that you forget to make what it's guarding impressive as well.

It's like Moria meets Undergrotto. Kinda. My dwarves are currently hacking away happily.

Have your towers either side of the magma and put the entrance inside the pipe.  Bonus points for making it a glass tunnel.

Honestly, if I've learned anything from lurking here, it's that anything involving lava and/or magma is automatically that much dorfier.  And dorfliness is next to godliness.  So build a replica of the Black Gate of Mordor (if the Black Gate were built over Mount Doom).   

And if it goes horribly wrong is fun, just blame thank the hobbits.
