Your problem sounds thermal from the timings described.

If you narrow it into the amp section, take a look at the heat sinks to make sure the bond to the outputs hasn't dried out. If so, the outputs may be overheating.

These are capacitive-coupled designs, but the main coupling Elnas are pretty durable. I wound up recapping the output boards on mine to correct a frequency imbalance, which made a world of difference. Total cost was about $7.

I'm guessing your problem to be thermally related, however. A can of component cooler may be your best friend here.
