Yes you could do it under the GPL :-)

I think you're making it more confusing than it needs be. Simply have two 
distribution channels. One channel is Open Source and includes only the 
source code. The other channel is closed source and includes only the 
binaries. As the original author, you can do whatever you want. You are the 
licensor, and do not have to follow the rules of the licensee.
