No topology changes, yes. As for parts, use readily available, industrial grade (not "boutique"), stuff. Then, things are as close to apples and apples as is possible. All too often, modern parts, especially PSU diodes, are superior to the stuff available in the late '50s and early '60s. Also, stuff is available now that was inconceivable back then.
Make the challenge one of design and magnetics quality. The top notch vintage amps rule the roost.
