I've repaired a lot of old '70's linear supplies using stacks of 3055's with 5W emitter resistors. 0.1 ohm was pretty typical on commercial units, for larger current use, sometimes 0.47 ohm but that was less common.
Part of the secret is choosing sets of transistors with similar Vbe, you can measure that in a second with your multimeter on diode test and that one reading gives you a good enough idea for matching in sets.
If the resistor drops 0.15 to 0.2v at full curtrent that is high enough to give safe current sharing between transistors.
