My experience is limited with the last three you mention. Some of the guys here are very high on Nikko, but I have no experience. I have worked a little with Hitachi and a little with Toshiba. I thought they were pretty good, but I wouldn't consider them better than Kenwood or Technics.
I rather liked the earlier Technics with the 4 digit model numbers (like SA-5360), but I felt the later ones were cheapened and lacked low impedance power.The Kenwoods were all very good up through about 1980. I still have a KR-6050 that has really good sound. The upper models in that particular series, the 8050 and 9050 didn't do well into 4 ohm loads, but the lower models were very nice.
You might also consider Onkyo and Sherwood. I'm a big fan of Onkyo.
