Before you can make a 1kHz sinewave oscillator with constant output level and better than 120dB harmonic distortion you'll need

You do make me laugh sometimes Bill.
Your circuit doesn't come anywhere close to 120dB but it does depend on which simulator you ask.
Adding a FET gain stabilizer to the circuit I posted seems to have negligible effect on the distortion.
So I'd concentrate on the oscillator distortion level rather than the gain controller contribution if I wanted to attempt better
than 120dB.
