...(but many new parts).
That's the point! I trust you upgraded the quality of all those parts at that time. :)
Have you recently examined the trace side of your amp's boards in the vicinity of the finals? ;-)
A couple of years back, I had one output capacitor fail. Here's what the board looked like then:

Clean! You are indeed fortunate. But what's an "output capacitor"? This is a power amp, right? So output transformer but no output capacitor unless it's output transformerless/cap coupled output.
Coupling caps. Current version uses silver Mundorfs.
Do your amps run balanced connections?
No, way too old for consumer oriented equipment to have that feature...at least most of it. I have a pair of ancient Stromberg Carlson amps awaiting restoration that do run 600 ohm balanced inputs. Going to be tough finding something capable of driving them adequately.
Wow, that is tough to drive. The VTLs are 137k ohm.
