My circuit reads the output, do the calculations and show the maximum, minimum, average voltages (right now max=122V, min=113V, average=117V

My approach would be to simply have the 8051 do the logging - then upload the data to a PC, and let the PC do all the caluculations & presentation of the analysis.
PCs are much better at analysis & presentation.

what I really needed was some kind of OP-AMP that I could connect directly to the mains AC and could read a low voltage DC output proportinal to the AC input.

That is a bad idea - you really do not want to work with anything connected directly to live mains voltages if you can avoid it!

It is also unnecessary: you already have an isolated, low-voltage signal that's directly proportional to the mains voltage - it is the output of the transformer that powers your circuit!
