I'll use a 2W amplifier on audio output.
But I really want to make the radio very sensitive and long range(I
was thinking about using darlington pairs in the RF stage -please
don't kill me ).

You want to put the *minimum* rf gain ahead of the detector. Regen
detectors are very sensitive and easy to overload. The main purpose
of the rf stage is to isolate the detector from the effects of variations
in antenna chacteristics. If you go for more gain, fit a variable attenuator.

Try a google searsch for "Nickys trf" for an interesting rx design.

I've built quite a few regen sets both vacuum and solid-state -
including a 1-transistor reflex where the transistor acts as both
rf-amp and af-amp...and I've currently got 1-tube and 2-tube sets.
