Receiver for headphone use only


I have recently thought about purchasing a receiver to set on my night stand to use with head phones. This set up, if purchased, would not be used a lot so I wouldn't want to invest a lot of money. I am not opposed to vintage receivers, quite the opposite in fact. Any suggestions? Is a nice $100 vintage receiver unrealistic?

Get a Marantz 2230, 2245 or similiar, built in Japan, early 70's. Have it modded or rebuilt, or with patience wait for a cleaned-up rebuilt one to appear on ebay. For the 2230, which is all you'll need for headphones, the price for a really good one should be below $350 or so.
