RE: You probably will not believe me, but I did the same thing to my Kenwood L-07s then.

Why would I not believe you? What's certain is the huge difference no fuse makes in power amps. The huge current spike caused by charging caps makes it obvious as to why. That hair thin wire is nothing but a finger in the dam.
I've never blown a fuse anywhere since I became interested in audio in the early '70s. I'm super careful with everything and do not start out with the tubular jumper until I've played the amp for awhile to make sure everything is kosher. With my collection of vintage gear, I don't go fuseless until after a ground up restoration is fully tested.
I have had failures where the fuse did not blow.
