Don't recall Carver modding Cit II's. His original line of tube amps were the Silver 7's, IIRC, 200 watt monoblocks. The original prototypes used the huge Dyna A-440 (?) outputs with tertiary windings. These were the transformers used in the Mk VI which never really made it to the market.
IIRC, Victor Goldstein, brought a pair to Seacliff and HP simply loved them, and eventually convinced Carver to produce them. Of course, the transformers were no longer in production and definitely not available for production runs, so Carver built his own. The Dynas were rated for only about 120 watts so the originals used a pair per side , paralleled. Production run amps had one huge output....not quite the same.
He did come out with a smaller amp later, though, perhaps that was what you were thinking of?
