Higher quality AM receivers used the two diode tubes.
One diode was for the detector while the other was
used for the AGC. That way the loading could be optimized
for each function.

I wonder if the quality of AM radio ( not counting the decline in music
taste)
has gone down since every thing uses soild state diodes as compared to tube
diodes.
