Sounds a bit like the PWM power supply used by Sony in their wonderful little TA-N86 amps back in the day. They used 400mHz Motorola power transistors to get 70wpc class A/B or 16wpc Class A. Sucker ran so hot that it almost always fried the 85C caps in a couple of years. Replacing with 105C rated caps solved the problems. Am guessing Marantz has solved this problem all ready.
