I would probably be considered strange, but I use my Conn Helleberg (large shank) on my Boosey & Hawkes BBb (small shank reciever). It only fits in about half an inch, but it produces a good sound and gives me better response. So I choose to leave it with the small shank receiver and use the large shank mouthpiece. I'm afraid that if I put on the correct reciever then I will some of the response that I get.
