Here’s the headphone output from the Befaco OutV3:

They use an NE5532 which apparently can source more current than TL07x.

From the Erica Synths DIY Output:

Uses a headphone driver chip, LM4808, which however is available only in SMD packages.

This does use a TL0x. I have this board but haven’t built it yet so can’t comment on how it works.

TL072 and then BC327, BC337 transistors.

LM386 audio amplifier.

Seems there are as many approaches as there are designers…
