Is anyone familiar with a standalone Bluetooth receiver that has the slightest ability to put out anything similar to a line level output? I've tried several and they seem to struggle to hit 200 millivolts of output and fail miserably at driving any type of line level equipment.

Bluetooth receiver.

Not sure what you need to drive with it, and I’ve only ever used one so very limited experience; most look rather low output. I use a Esinkin BT Adapter with powered bookshelf monitors and other audio amplifiers with RCA inputs. I’ve never measured the output so perhaps won’t do what you want. It’s got one button on the top of it for pairing and runs on 5v.
Would it be possible to add a small line driver to boost the signal slightly? Those use to be a thing in car audio.
I no longer have a workbench / scope setup or I'd measure it, I'm guessing the Esinkin is not going to put out much voltage to drive your gear either, heck the specs don't even state anything about the output level, but it works for studio monitors and such when i need to use it.
Not much help, but a thread bump I guess.

You normaly parellel opamps to get the drive you need then run that into a high power amp circuit. I have only played around with prefab bluetooth boards but never ran across anything would be line level they are more like a turntable output where you have to have a phono preamp to bring it up to level of other sources. I hope that makes sense.
I have added bluetooth to old audio gear so I can stream music from my phone to anceint Tuner/8Track recievers and home made amplifiers. It has been a while since I have done this though. Operational Amplifiers are your friend even better build your own with discrete componets! With opamps linear power supply with good voltage regulation and plenty of current is your friend when you want to start runing 2, 4, 6 or 8 of them!!
