I wouldn't imagine that adding a DC barrel jack on the back, and omitting the diodes, voltage regulators, and caps would be that difficult, but that's easy for me to say.

That's interesting that you actually had hum issues with yours because of incoming AC. A DC wall wart (while often quite poor) would at least allow the end user, or Mr. Lounge himself, to build a rock-solid DC supply using either a choke, or the aforementioned Belleson regulators. Perhaps he felt that the compromise of a mediocre DC wal-wart wasn't one he was willing to make.

I still have a McCormack Micro Phono around here somewhere, which also used an external AC wall wart transformer. My intent was to build a better DC external power supply for it, but it would have required extensive modification to the existing internal power supply.

I'm not trying to trash the Lounge in any way. It's very impressive, and I know at least one friend who's told me it sounds very good. I'd just like to see a model offered without AC in the chassis, and the option to improve the power supply.
