I don't know if this helps but Crutchfield's catalog has a succinct
guide. You can request a hard copy from them but this seems to be the
online version of it.

I haven't bought a receiver since the 90s and worry that the time may be
coming when I need to look into this. Like you, I don't really need all
the other stuff; just would like it to receive stations from far away
with good sound quality. :)

No DVD, no TV. I would like the money going into just radio reception
(analogue and digital audio), amplification and distribution to
speakers. I don't really want to pay for home theater.
Thank you,

you probably should make certain the machine has HDMI switching. then
you can plug the dvd and the cable box into the back of the receiver on
the way to the tv and switch. a second feature that may not be
necessary is that the receiver can have the upscaling chip and
software(converting dvd from regular to 1080p). the receiver usually
does a better job than the dvd player.
the avs video forum has a thread on receivers
