What are the max. dimensions you are able to accept? Makes it easier to find something.
shelf targeted is only 10-11" deep,, that is the biggest problem. Height is limited 10" and width I can go 24". Right now, I have a cheap boom box that is destined for the trash can. Wanting to upgrade with vintage something. This will be a garage unit, so trying to keep price low. An ugly, sleeper would be great, but needs to fit on the shelf.

In fact, the limited depth is a problem. Any receiver I know is deeper than this - even the smallest ones. In Europe you'll nevertheless find a few "stereo-radios" having less depth, but on the other hand they are bigger than 12" width.
There are some small receivers from Standard Radio Japan. They should fit, at least the model SR-603SW. This is a beautiful, small receiver of 5kg. Full with electronic in his small cabinet. And sounds excellent. Also a sleeper, needs sometimes time to find.

Toshiba Aurex systems have a small footprint. The M-30 integrated is less than 1 ft. depth. They are rare, though.
A better solution might be to locate the receiver in a different space, increase the depth of the desired shelf, or let a conventional receiver over-hang the shelf.

How about this integrated amp with separate matching tuner? It's not 50 watts a side; it's rated at 20, but 20 real watts-- at least from 60 Hz to 20kHz @ 0.5% THD. Made by Sanyo for Sears back in 1981-82. It's exactly 10" deep.
As just_dave said, many better-known mfrs. made lines of separate minicomponents in the early '80s. Technics made some especially powerful ones, and don't forget Hitachi. Receivers, though, are less common.

Look at the tiny bunny...
Lafayette made some small footprint recievers, like the LR-100, LR-300 and LR-800. The LR-300, which I have, was rated for 12.5 watts, which is enough to annoy neighboors with some efficient speakers, like the Minimus Sevens.
Given your limited depth, you're probably going to want to try mini componets, as some here have suggested already.

+++ on the proton Caddy has that right. I had one and it worked very well.

Proton and NAD's Dynamic Headroom is peak power on transients only. Not for full time use. Unless you want failure mode. Basically the NAD 3020 was a 30 WPC receiver continuously. On very short transients it could deliver more. When operated on easy to drive speakers without reactive loads, just fine. Just use it within it's limitations and you'd have a fine choice. And musical sounding. Might be just what you need for your small space. 50 WPC plus real watts will consume more space overall though.
