Sony STR-GX10ES
Pioneer SX-1080
Marantz 2275
Sansui G-6700
Kenwood - KR-5400
Kenwood - KR-6340
Luxman - R-115

Would love to eventually obtain TOTL Sanyo models, JCX-2900K & Plus 130.
 
Well, I just got another.. a NAD 7100. This puts me at five with the rest:
Pioneer VSX-305 (sentimental value)
Sony STR-DH550 (I should Craigslist this to make space)
HK 385i
JVC JR-S300
 
Luxman R-3055 in the garage
Marantz 2285b blackface
Marantz 2325
Pioneer SX-550
Fisher 500c

It's always changing, but currently:
Kenwood KR-5200 (broken tuner string. Why haven't I fixed this yet?)
Sansui 3000A (no factory Service Bulletin speaker protection mod. Needs one though.)
Nikko NR-819 (no lights, but sounds very good)
Pioneer SX-7 (looks funky with it's digital/push button face, but sounds like a vintage Pioneer)
Hitachi SR-4010 (will sell soon)
Onkyo TX-80 (ditto)
and my latest:
Toshiba SA-850 (works fine but needs a good deoxing. Another beautiful sounding gem.)
 
Been a while so here's mine:

Fisher 500C
Sansui 9090DB
Sansui 8080
Sansui 8 Deluxe
Optonica SA-5151
Concept 4.5D
Concept 5.5
H.H. Scott 341x
Realistic STA 450

How's that Optonica? I know Sharp used to make a lot of receivers for Radio Shack, but I think that the Optonica line was a little better in general.
 
None in use now. An NAD C 740 in the closet that I figure on keeping because it has remote control and pre-main couplers so can stand in as preamp, tuner, integrated or power amp in one of four systems, if needed.

The SA-5151 was the first series of Optonica receivers. I believe it came out in 1978. Outstanding build quality and very good sound. Tends to be on the less warm side of vintage.

For 85 watts its a monster size wise. I'd put it up against any of my other receivers less the Fisher 500c and Sansui Eight Deluxe for sound quality. I bought it for $75 a couple of years ago. A fine investment, even though they don't command the prices of other brands.

 
Sansui R-30
Harman Kardon HK 3480
Marantz sr-53 (a current unexpected favorite)
Marantz Sr 4600
Nakamichi AV-1
Yamaha RXV-2400
Yamaha RX-570
 
3
1 1990 purchased new in 1990 RS, model STA-2700 located in my spare bedroom, which has been powered up 27/7365 playing music for decades, as it is providing my all day background music right now.

2 Sony`s, purchased new in 2000, a model STR- DE 135 in my car garage ( one in use, the other a backup, still virgin in the unopened box).
Also has been powered up & playing music in there 24/7/365 since.
 
Trying to do an accurate count here! A few have tuners that aren't working fully, but I'm counting them here as receivers.

NAD 7120 x 2. One is in my home office. One is going to my parents when I next visit
NAD 7125 - at my work office, but may be gifted to a friend
NAD 712 - also at my work office. Tuner needs the replacement bulbs, but don't really use the tuner there so not in a rush to replace it
NAD 7225 - also at work office, but headed to one of my employees over the holidays
NAD 7000 - en route right now. May set up as a pre-amp, or maybe office setup
NAD 7240 - forgot this one
NAD 7150 x 3. Two set up in Bi-amp mode with KEF Q70 speakers, one at my work office
NAD 7100 - Set up in my bedroom right now
NAD 7100X x 3 - I am thinking of using these in a biamp/biwire setup as well to see how they do as well. Sometimes switch these into second basement system and sometimes run as preamp for amps
NAD T773 - forgot this one also. Not sure it's working right now, though

So 15 right now, but at least 3 likely to be gifted away in the next few weeks
