I have a 4 vavle Imperial Boosey with 19 inch bell. The tuba came with the small sized reciever, and I didn't have a mouthpiece that fit it. A local shop put on an larger, standard sized reciever, and now it plays very well. It also seems that the horn works with any reasonable mouthpiece-Bach 24AW, 18, 22, Helleberg, horn doesn't seem to care as long as I can play it. I could have bought one of the Wicks with a smaller shank, but just changing the reciever cost less than custom mouthpieces. If your'e happy with the Wick mpc then you are already there. If not the only one that stocks tuba mpcs with small shanks is Wick. Others would have to be custom made.
