yet another noob here.. can somebody tell me if there's a way (test) I can do to find out if I didn't fry the mosfets I just soldered onto the F5M board? (They got pretty hot) Forgot to use the ol' tweezers as a heat sink trick.

Welcome aboard 🙂
You would have to be pretty determined to fry the FET's is the simple answer and based on that its 99% that they are just fine. Detailed testing requires many very involved test procedures under controlled conditions and using specialised equipment. They will be fine.

Thanks and thanks. that's good to know and that's also good to know
Separately.. the Antek AS-3218 300VA 18V Xfmr recommended for the PSU is out of stock. The 200VA version is in stock but can I get away with the 400VA 18V Xfmr in absence of the 300VA. Will the 200VA version do the job?

I'm not familiar with the amp and its requirements but a larger VA rating is fine, the smaller one may well not be depending on the current draw of the amp. Downside of the larger would be physical size and cost.
