Ok, this one will throw you for a loop! Luxman R-117 receiver!!! Read the reviews from the 1980's and early 90's then see if there are any on ebay. Should be about $350-400 now ($1200 new) Absolutely phenomenal amp and preamp section. Grossly underrated @ 160 wpc into 8 ohms it produces 400, 600, and 700 wpc of "dynamic" power into 8,4, and 2 ohms. I once read a "test bench" report from a measurement guru who said the real rating of "actual" power was closer to 350 wpc into 8 ohms! Smooth as silk with massive power, it sounds a lot like tubes. For the money you can't go wrong and can own a piece of audio history!
