"The next mod is to remove the magnetic wire in the windings and optimize with a larger gauge wire?"
Sure, go ahead. But then you will find the wire bundle won't fit on the core sized for the laminations. So now you need to re-engineer the whole transformer. IOW, by that time you will be building an entirely new transformer.
And to do that the weekend tweaker is now faced with rather complex mathematics and physics to produce the results (specs) you desire. Don't just assume you can scale the size in a linear manner. And once you learn all that and have many years of experience - just as the original transformer winder does, you will no doubt find that the original design INCLUDING the leadout wires are in fact properly sized for the application.
So what's the point?
