Classic gear from yesteryear; vintage audio standing the test of time.

Dynaco ST-35 was undoubtedly their best stereo amp effort...

Yes ! The original stereo amp ran hot and cracked the phenolic boards in time. Yet, nobody I know has ever heard of a blown PA-774 power tranny. Using a good Stereo 35 with vintage Euro or UK EL84s and 7247s will be a rewarding sonic experience.

Upgrading the boards to teflon, rebuilding the power supply sensibly, replacing the few caps sensibly, plus separating the cathode bias arrangement for each channel if quads of EL84s are unavailable could be what the doctor ordered...Stereo 35 is one fine stereo amp.

I have not seen a "new" version, but I can envision one with two power trannies, a la dual mono, plus a bit more conservative operating voltages for the outputs; but the Z565 output iron is hard to beat...
