I blew up my receiver. Now what?

I brought my Integra DTM7 to Europe. Plugged it in, and POP! I discovered that unlike my other electronics, it definitely could not handle 220v wall current. Smoke poured from the vents for a while, even though I immediately unplugged it. 
So:

1. What did I break? A fuse? A capacitor? Everything?

2. What’s the best way to get it back up and running here in Europe?

thanks!

Most likely took out a few capacitors and resistors and probably the output device.  Hard to tell. Pop the top and see what the damage is.  Check the transformer.
 Good luck.

I thought the different plug design doesn't allow you to do this kind of damage.

BBQ'd any other devices?

"...I love the smell of fried circuitry in the evening gloom...."

Once upon a time, some equipment had that small 'fail-safe' switch that read '110vac><220vac' by the line cords' strain relief.
If one was lucky, and it was new, the 'gender bender' plug that allowed for Euro wall sockets...

...but I guess I'm just showing my age....*tapping cattle-prod cane on the floor softly to a beat*

1. What did I break?  Can't be sure without going in to troubleshoot.  But you saw smoke, A Lot. 
     A fuse? More than likely.
     A capacitor? Probably
     Everything?  No.  The cabinet, foots, panel knob and buttons are still good.

2. What’s the best way to get it back up and running here in Europe?
Get IT back up running?  Money hope and prayers.
Get YOU back up running?  Money.
