...specifically a CR-620.
Lots of vintage receivers will fill the bill and they will have decent phono stages. If you find a cheap receiver today with a phono stage it (the phono stage) is pretty much guaranteed to sound like crap.

Or onboard DAC. Unlikely. Please see OP's requirements.
I will likely only connect a turntable, but would also like to be able to stream music from my laptop, either through a wired connection or over bluetooth.
No mention of a DAC and you can certainly run a wire to any vintage receiver.

Streaming to a receiver or other amplifier implies the delivery of a stream of digital data. That is why the term was invented. Delivery of analogue sound via a wire is not synonymous.
As the device streamed to must have a means of decoding the digital stream it is therfore implicit that the OP requires a DAC. He also requires a DAC if his alternative request for Bluetooth connection is implemented.
I connect my laptop to my integrated amp via the headphone jack on the laptop. Works fine, for my purposes
I missed that he only wanted to stream. Easy enough to add a Bluetooth receiver with a built in DAC.

Nice unit
Great tuner
The 20-Series was comprised of the 220, 420, 620, 820, 1020, 2020 and the nearly 2' wide 3020 ...a beast of a receiver !I've always wanted one, more than any other receiver. Lucky you if that's the one you had !

But I'd only want a recapped/restored one.

There's a nice one on ebay right now , $299 obo. As long as you only need 35 watts per channel it might be a good choice.
The older onkyo TX series stereo receivers are available on Ebay all the time. They are pretty good receivers. In fact i own one. Its built like tank unlike the yamaha surround receiver i had.
