There are a lot of good suggestions here and even your own thoughts can electrolytics cause the hot chassis and the answer is,YES.. I have one unit now with leaky computer grade electrolytics that has the whole B+ on the chassis of 440vdc.
Also,if you have a subwoofer amplifier speaker or any amp or preamp with a switchmode power supply plugged into the same power strip as the mx-110,this can cause a hot chassis. Disconnect those if you have them and see what happens.You may need an isolation transformer.
