I used to own one of the predecessors to that amp, a Rotel RB 980BX. Bought it used for $300 many years ago, Great amp for the money. That being said, I would never spend hundreds to rebuild it if it had died on me.
You have received some great suggestions from other members. I don't think you need to spend $10,000 for a great amp. Unless your enamored with your preamp, I I would also check out some modern integrated amps. Amps from makers such as Hegel, Rega, Primere, Arcam all make integrated amps with over 100 WPC for under $5K. Just a thought.
