Bigger tranny and addition of a choke.
Soviet K40Y-P paper-in-oil tone caps.
The amp also has a Weber 10A125-0 speaker. Looks like a stock Champ, sounds like no Champ you've ever heard. Loud and proud with warm tone and soft crunch.

The choke works in the rectifier circuit, which converts AC wall power to DC power which your amp needs. The choke helps to smooth out and increase the power that is available to the tubes. The effect is that it makes your amp sound darker and punchier. The bigger transformer with the choke turn the little Champ into a more powerful amp.
