I blew up my receiver. Now what?

I brought my Integra DTM7 to Europe. Plugged it in, and POP! I discovered that unlike my other electronics, it definitely could not handle 220v wall current. Smoke poured from the vents for a while, even though I immediately unplugged it. 
So:

1. What did I break? A fuse? A capacitor? Everything?

2. What’s the best way to get it back up and running here in Europe?

thanks!

You pretty much destroyed it.
You need a step down transformer next time, unless the device supports multi voltages.

is this your first visit? 

This from a guy who fried his TV and Oppo two weeks back!!

My phone, my tablet, two laptops and a desktop computer all handled the voltage change without a problem. Didn't occur to me that the power supply inside my receiver would be less capable. Now I know...

Power supplies in receivers are a joke. Lesson learned.

None of the devices you listed have a power transformer, designed (or wired) for one specific voltage.    A transformer designed/connected for 120V + plugged into 240V = toast (typically).
