Check the DC readings on both, and, if they are housed in a common heatsink/cooling clip, try removing that in case internal faults in the transistors are causing the problem. (I assume the o/p transistors are metal can types)

If the caps are the issue, what will happen? Humming, buzzing, or nothing?
The transistors are soldered directly to the board near each other. They're labeled as G402E, that would appear to be germanium. But since they've tested good, what else could be wrong with them? They're in a tall, gray metal can.
