You STILL don't get it. It is NOT an issue of "too good an antenna"; it
IS about too poor of a receiver front end.

Note: the OP's receiver in question is a fine receiver, BUT THE FRONT
END IS *NOT* DESIGNED FOR A VERY LONG ANTENNA.

All I get is that you missed the importance of attenuators (heck, a
couple of variable resistors will do.)

Looking for the RF Gain Control on the Sony
ICF-7600GR 'portable AM/FM Shortwave Radio :
oops,,, Opps... OOPS ! ! !
THERE AIN'T ONE - oops ~ RHF
*.

Why you are making a non-problem into a problem and arguing for small
antennas is simply perplexing! *To say the least!

And, for MW, a 300+ ft antenna is really needed for good DX ...

Actually it does : some do & some don't
