But he also said that he could stream music through a wired connection, so a vintage receiver would be fine, a fact that others who replied seemed to notice.

Sorry to be tiresome but I have already pointed out that streaming means a digital stream. An analogue connection is simply "playing to/from". Otherwise we have all been "streaming " since the invention of electrical recording 90 years ago. I mean you wouldn't speak of streaming from a turntable,cassette tape recorder or FM tuner.
So as the OP asked to stream then I would look for a digital solution as that is is what the word means. A wired connection in this context means USB , co-axial etc. The OP clearly appreciates this as he asks for streaming by Bluetooth as an alternative. Bluetooth is an alternative method to digital wired whereas an analogue connection is not.
Had he said instead that he just wants to play music from his computer through the receiver then that would have been different and could include a computer headphone output to analogue input (even if technically it is usually not the optimum solution).
Nope. Streaming refers to something very specific, as per the following definition which is available easily:
"Streaming Music, or more accurately known as streaming audio, is a way of delivering sound without the need to download files of different audio formats. Music services such as Spotify use this method to provide songs that can be enjoyed on all types of different devices.
So streaming is about how the music gets to you, not about how you listen to it via your electronics. When I plug my phone into my preamp (but only in emergencies) I'm still streaming music even though a cable is being used. It's not complicated.
