What drives vintage receiver values?

Power output, brand reputation, and the "monster receiver" era (1973–1980) are the three biggest factors. Restored units command 40–80% premiums because original capacitors are approaching 50 years old and professional restoration adds meaningful longevity. Wood case variants (like the Marantz WC-22) add $300–600 to any receiver's value.
