Be careful about this. I tried fitting a large Besson receiver to an old Besson euphonium and the receiver was too large for the end of leadpipe. I suspect that if you change the receiver you will also have to change the leadpipe in order to get an acceptable match. My solution was to have the original reciever put back on and special order a mouthpiece to fit.
