If you want to keep the SoCal design vibe, Altec Lansing produced a very high quality receiver in 1971, the 714. They also sold the same receiver in an all-in-one chassis with a Garrard SL95B turntable on top as the 911. The 912 also had a cassette deck built in. The power output at 44W/ch was rated slightly higher than the JBL Energizer SE-400 that was designed to mount in the back of the Paragon.
When restored with new caps and signal transistors, they sound wonderful and have a design unlike almost anything from the same timeframe.
