Hmm; misnamed? Dunno which side of the Atlantic you're on, but over here
('Merkin), a receiver is an amplifier + tuner, to distinguish it from an
amplifier, which normally lacks a tuner. (And of course, speaking of
confusion, the amplifier actually consists of a preamplifier + a power
amplifier, which are sometimes separate things ...)

And a pre+power amplifier in one box is commonly called an integrated
amplifier for that reason, and a separate pre-amp or power amp are almost
always named as such.
Just to add to your list, a phono pre-amp may be separate as well, and a
moving coil cartridge pre-amp is sometimes called a pre-preamp.
