A few thoughts come to mind.First, how did you disconnect the loudness control? The 0.1uf capacitor should be completely gone, correct? Though, you can still keep the 4.7k resistors from the loudness taps on the volume control to ground.
Second, I am wondering about how your PAS is interacting with the Sansui integrated. Do you have another power amp, like a Stereo 70, that you can try?
I assume the Sansui has pre-out/main-in jumpers that you can disconnect so that you can run the PAS direct into the power amp section? Or, are you running the output of the PAS into one of the high level preamp inputs on the Sansui? Where are the tone controls and loudness control set on the Sansui? If you are running the PAS directly into the Sansui’s main-in (power amp section), then I would think you’d have too little bass, not too much.
Finally, you mentioned that you removed the PAS' tone controls. If the tone controls were not completely removed, it might be the cause of the excess bass. IMO, the output of the PAS with tone controls properly removed should look like this:
