Then replace all the signal coupling caps, where they will fit use PProp film caps esp. in the phono stage.

It's likely that you can increase the capacitance of the PSU with same size caps with higher uf. This is always a good thing.

Frankly, I never heard a SS receiver outperform a good tube receiver. Best I ever heard in SS are the all discrete design (no op amp) Sony STR-6060FW.

  Yes?
  
  If the FM band isn't crowded, a restored/rebuilt valve receiver, or valve tuner, driven hard by a directional antenna will eat most SS FM stages and the output stage, in any SS receiver or a tuner. IME that is.
  
  Whether there's a valve rectifier in it OR SS diodes.
