A large loop does receive more signal, but will also receive more
noise/interference. You should optimize for best signal to noise
ratio. Often, larger does not mean better....
you can move around to find the sweet spot/orientation for best
reception. You can use whatever insulated copper wire to make the
loop.

Thanks

One example that's fairly easy to build. You will need a variable
cap for tuning. I don't know what type of antenna you have on
the stereo, but one of those loops can be fed passively just
orienting it close to the loop or loopstick on the stereo.
If it has no antenna, but connections for an AM antenna,
you can using the coupling loop built into the loop antenna, and
run coax or whatever to the stereo.
