Hmm, is there any way to know for sure? I'm willing to gamble on it, but it's still a decent chunk of dough!

Multimeter, pull the leads, test

Do you have a friend with a working PC? Ask them if they can part with their PSU for an afternoon.

My brother has a pc next room over, but he certainly won't consent to the rigmarole of disassembling both of ours twice to test.

You make it sound like a chore. Unplugging it from the mobo is the only annoying task and even it isn't that bad.

Swapping out individual components until you determine which is is faulty is the only way to be sure. But to my layman's ears, it sounds a lot like PSU problems I've had before.
