Yes, the weak links in the original Paramour from 20 years ago were the plate chokes - and the output transformers. (That's a big part of what made it inexpensive, of course ...)
It's a long story, but the original Paramour had a 10H choke at 4K load, for 2.5H per kOhm (that's what counts). The original output transformers had limited bass power bandwidth, something like 3.5 watts above 50Hz, 1.75 watts at 35Hz. Current Stereomour is 20 henries, power band 3.5 watts at 22Hz.
Some customers (e.g. Deke609) have indeed experimented successfully with various mods to the iron and driver.
