Well, I suppose you could use vacuum tubes or electromechanical relays but I wouldn't recommend it. As far as limiting by number of transistors, that seems a somewhat odd measurement. I would say that if you want to limit it that way, a suggested criteria would be number of IC packages and limit us to certain families of ICs (I suggest the 7400 TTL merely because that's what I'm familiar with).
