It's normal for linear regulators to heat up, especially when they're dropping about 60v.

Do you read approximately 18v between pins 5 and 8 of the two 3120 optocouplers?

Do you read approximately 15v on pin 8 of the op-amp near the RCA jacks?

Do you read approximately -15v on pin 4 of the op-amp near the RCA jacks?
 
If you look at the solder connections before you desolder the FETs, you can almost always tell what's original and what's been soldered by hand.

For amps that use silpad insulators, you can also use the impressions in the pads to determine if more than one FET has been clamped in each location. It's rare to get all replacement FETs to lay perfectly where the originals were.

I don't know what the originals were but those would be OK. .
