This is a thought experiment I am trying to work through: does believing in a posttribulational return entail a belief in historic premillennialism?

It depends on whether one is holding to postmil of the classic variety, or the one that also has Theonomy and Reconstructionism built into it.
You are right, as I read it and still saw it saying postmil.I said post trib, not postmillennial.
No. Post-trib is a subset of dispensationalism which does not fit with historic premillennialism. It requires a literal 7 year tribulation, with the bifurcation of the Gentile and Jewish churches, etc. At least in my reading, those particular fundamentals of dispensationalism were not part of historic premil. Correct me if I'm wrong though...This is a thought experiment I am trying to work through: does believing in a posttribulational return entail a belief in historic premillennialism?

Historical premils would still tend to see a literal final Antichrist, the great Tribulation as still future, at least in how I understand it.No. Post-trib is a subset of dispensationalism which does not fit with historic premillennialism.
