As the N77es is full of fusible resistors, we will be looking at them particularly hard. they are designed to save expensive semiconductors from death. There is about 14-17 of them, per channel and they are designed to smoke up in a problem situation.
Remember, they fail for a reason.
You won 't be recapping anything, until you have fixed the problem. That is for later, and only IF you feel like doing it. The capacitors in the TAN77es are likely absolutely 100% perfect, they were all top grade components.
Have a look at this component, it looks suspicious to me from your photo:
It is R366 in the right channel, a 100ohm 1/2 watt fusible. Test it and report back. Have a look at the clearance between the metal tab of Q359 and the copper behind it.
