NOT doubting your restorations of the radio.
Review the alignment. If there is background noise when the radio is away from window that is a good indication the AVC is working properly in conjunction with the gain in the RF/IF.
If there is no background noise and when sweeping the dial when the radio is near the window that is a rough idea there is insufficient action of the AVC. Try a re-alignment before searching for possibly awkward ways to bring BCB signals to the center of the home.
The AVC, if working properly, will also bring in any electrical noises too. I would suggest an external, passive loop antenna but noise will likely have to be abated somehow...
Maybe Santa will brink you a Terk passive AM Advantage antenna...
