That is what I would want a self cleaning filter if I have to have such a thing.

At the same time don't want my dishes "washed"with shredded food remains.Isn't this defeating our purpose?Want the food waste flushed AWAY rather than sprayed on my dishes which I am trying to clean.
My Maytag gets rid of everything I put in it, there's not a thing that it can't do...

The picture of a clogged sizing plate is from a DW with a broken chopper, the sizing plate NEVER looks like that in a working DW and NEVER needs cleaning.

*calmly deletes his previous post*
A dishwasher that is used PROPERLY shouldn't have buildup like that, but it DOES happen. It is not an every day occurrence though.
The most common problem we see with these types of systems is stickers left on things.
They get past the blades and stick to the screen and cause all sorts of issues.

There are some very FINE dishwashers out there today, as so many have already said.
WP's filter cut system is very good and very mature.
To the point where in their manual they don't even recommend you cleaning the filter cub except every 3-6-12 months!!!! Depending on how nasty you load up your machine.
With that said, historic context taken into consideration, I don't think the OP at all will be happy with anything new on the market.
Listing such tight specifics as a 4 blade chopper, and a "big" motor pretty much sets you up for a new Maytag machine ONLY.
And even then, OP probably won't like it, because it's not a Point Voyager platform, that he's ohh so gone on about in the past.
Therefore, Jerome, I recommend you look exclusively for a used, almost vintage Point Voyager machine of any brand. Be it WP, Kenmore, KA, Maytag etc.
You could also get a [now vintage] KA or Maytag, with beefy motors and grinders.
Here's some examples:

Blocked Sizing Plate In A WP Built DW
Hi Joshua, The first picture you posted of a clogged sizing plate had a BROKEN GRINDER BLADE, it was NOT turning, It has NOTHING to do with how the DW was being used, the sizing plate will clog like the one in your picture even if the dishes are 90% rinsed off in just a few loads if the grinding blade is NOT turning, and only if it is not turning.
This is the most popular design DW in our area, almost every other one of our customers have a DW that has a pump like this. We work on hundreds of these machines every year and we NEVER see clogged sizing plates like this unless the grinder blade drive is BROKEN.
One of these DWs will not wash dishes properly even 6 times with a broken grinder drive blade without clogging.

well keep searching.....we find new un-used, still in box or crated machines every now and then....like this one I picked up for Mark....had to go to Philly to get it, will store it here in Jersey...and eventually it will make it home to North Carolina...
if you find a dream machine, distance is but a road trip....
I think you will be more than happy with a Maytag(JennAir) Revers-a-Rack.....that full size motor alone should sell you....

plus Mark found this Lady Kenmore.....again, never used or installed....I don't recall exactly, but I think both machines asking price was around 50.00 each...
as Dory would say, 'just keep searching, searching, searching'...
the Kenmore UltraWash machines are another great choice in dishwashers fitting your list...
as with both machines, the interiors are porcelain....and well insulated

dishwasher update
I am going on 3 years with my Kenmore dishwasher, model 665.13222 made by whirlpool. I remember when I ran it empty, I could hear a powerful spray, especially with the powerwave spray arm in action. For the time being, I have been using the smartwash cycle with high temp and heat dry.
