This has been one of the toughest for me to figure out... "do I need a Marshall Major?" etc..
Although there were changes to Ritchie's gear in Deep Purple over the years, the earlier tone can be had easily by:
Strat w/ singles
VOX AC-30 cranked
Celestion Alnico Blues
add some kind of midrange hump (EQ or otherwise)
mellow the high end somewhat
only the AC-30 will give you that "crang" and "clang"...
EDIT: Here's a clip - my guitar, real Paice & Glover:
