With all due respect, I find your assessment surprising. Cornell dubilier 51000uF/160V replacemet cap for 336 ESR 6.9 mOhms. Using a 10000uf cap ESR 31 mOhms you need 5 caps. It will not fit in Levinson. ESR is lot lower on big caps also ripple current is three times higher. There is a reason Levinson used these Super caps it will give better bass also. Philips caps is the culprit. Replace the caps on Levinson 336 with Cornell dubilier caps or Tech cap 62000uF/125V. The Cornell Dubilier is the worlds best capacitor reason they uses a three stage process to create worlds lowest leakage current, longest shelf life. Also they are made in USA. They have no factory in CHINA. You can watch the youtube on google and see how caps are made. Also Nichicon capacitors are very good for power supply.
The Newer amps uses many small caps to reach large capacitance because it is lot less expensive than big caps. That is the reason.
