Any transistor of the same material, similar power rating and gain as the original should be affected the same by temperature; even in an easier-to-deal-with package such as a TO-220 or TO-126 which can just be bolted straight to the heatsink with suitable insulators. Then you just have to deal with the leads being in the wrong order .....
