RE: Looking for vintage NAD (3020 type design) poweramp, does one exist, or are they all integrateds or receivers?

Ive listed NAD amps from the era of the 3020 below. Based on my experience, I would recommend all of the ones I have had and I have indicated these below.
I've also tried a lot "Power Envelope" NADs from the later 80's and the 90's but and I much prefer the original series.

Integrateds:
3020 78-83 (I have one and recommend them)
3020A 82-84 (I had one and recommend them)
3020B 85-86 (I had one and recommend them)
3030 78-81
3040 80-81
3045 78-81
3060 78-82
3080 78-82 (I had one and recommend them)

Preamps:
1020 81-83
1020A 82-84
1020B 85

Power Amps
2140 81-83
2150 82-84
2155 84-87
2200 85-86
I'm not sure that all of these used the origiinal circuitry but I think they changed to Power Envelope with the 2200PE in 1986

Receivers
7020 80-82 (not the 7020e which was from 88-90)
7030 78-81
7045 78-82
7060 78-81
7080 78-82
