What IF amplifier configuration can I use in my receiver?
Assumption: the intermediate-frequency crystal filter represents entirely the bandwidth required by the receiver.
You can follow the filter with a wide bandwidth amplifier, with stages coupled by simple coupling capacitors for low-cost reasons. However, you may have to add an extra gain stage. When you use coupling transformers (tuned or untuned), impedance matching allows each stage gain to be higher than capacitor-coupled stage gain. Since transistors, resistors and capacitors are usually cheaper and simpler than transformers, the extra stage is often more attractive.

Identical stages in the I.F. amplifier chain allows automatic gain control to be simultaneously applied to every stage.

I.F. amplifier gain likely represents the bulk of receiver gain. Wideband noise generated within this amplifier may rise above the noise floor at the crystal filter output, especially where you employ very wide-band amplifier stages. In a high-performance receiver, the last I.F. amplifier might include a bandwidth-limiting filter to reduce wideband noise before the detector stage.

A 0.2uV sensitivity requires mentioning the receiver's pass band: a very narrow filter bandwidth makes this an easier task. Noise from the source resistance is involved as well.
