How many and what kind of mods can you do and still call (say) Tikka a Tikka?

I chose to reply to you because you put it in a pill what must are saying.
In my eyes, it's no longer a Tikka. It's a rifle that is based on Tikka receiver.
Factory stamp? So, if I took a barrel from my old Marlin and managed to put it on a different receiver, would it be a Marlin? Heck, why just a barrel. The stock and the barrel and the action and, IIRC, some other components on my 30/30 Marlin that is about as old as I am bears factory stamps with matching numbers! Mind you, that's a piece well from before lawyer button times... God forbid that if any of these pieces was used on anything else, it validate the resulting contraption to be called a "Marlin". Sure, call me at purist or crazy or whatever. To me (not necessarily to you), Marlin ended the day Remington took it over. It could be nostalgia speaking through me but I do remember times when Remington and Tikka were best known for their sewing machines...

If you took the barrel off your Marlin and put it on a Rem. It be what the reciever is.

Changing the stock, trigger etc doesn't change the fact its a tikka. Called Customizing.

My No4 didn't become a M31 suomi because I used a barrel off one.

When there is zero difference between the NR and R.

I can slap a stock on mine and longer barrel, nobody would ever know it's a restricted handgun.
