I'm not aware of a single CRT TV or monitor that had a brightness limiter circuit or anything like it? CRT TVs never limit brightness, in fact most will quite happily burn themselves out if they suffer from a vertical collapse or such defect. There's an overload circuit, but that's for defects not bright image content. If that existed it would of course also affect all the original consoles. OG XBox is also an option for hacking. I think the Wii is a great platform as it's relatively cheap, but following the hacking guide correctly (https://wii.guide/ https://wii.guide/) and configuring RetroArch is so complicated you might as well get a more powerful solution. Raspberry Pi + one of the various analog output options with CRTPi or my more minimalist shader solution or MiSTer with the analog board / direct video are really good.
