it's time to take this thing to a qualified tech. i wouldn't bring it back to the same guy that told you about the OT.
if the chassis is getting hot, you need to play this amp with everything exposed so you can locate the source of the heat. the chassis shouldn't get hot at all and it leads me to believe that maybe something drawing current is either arcing or touching part of the chassis. it's hard to say without being able to experience this up close but if we're running low on ideas.

on the positive side, atleast you have up to date caps and a new transformer.
